creating a dll with imports

[Daemon Anastas <daemona at atomtechnology dot com>]

Hello all,
  I am trying to create a dll which contains references to symbols
defined in the exe. This is very easy on solaris, linux or hpux
(dynamic loader scoping rules actually do most of the work).
I seem to be having a problem contriving a solution under windows
with the help cygwin. Anybody have a clue. Here is a simple example:

Here are the cygwin tool invocations and output
gcc -g -DLOOP_TEST -c m.c
gcc -g -DLOOP_TEST -c d.c
dlltool d.o --export-all-symbols --output-def d.def
dlltool m.o --export-all-symbols --exclude-symbols main --output-def m.def
dlltool m.def --def m.def -l m.lib -D m.exe
dllwrap --def d.def -o libd.dll d.o m.lib
gcc -o m.exe m.o

such that m.c contains main() and d.c is the source for the dll.
m.c and d.c follow. Any input is very much appreciated.
