Problem linking a dll that uses symbols defined in executable

- Subject: Problem linking a dll that uses symbols defined in executable
Hello *,
I have a program (executable), that uses two types of DLL libraries:
1) one that is linked with executable, as -l on gcc command line
2) several dll's that are loaded from 1) using dlopen()
Problem:
Some dll's of type 2 use functions/variables that are defined in the
EXECUTABLE.
When I try to link this type of dll's, I get bunch of undefined symbols, as
expected. What one would do in this case, if referenced symbols where in
another shared library (dll), is to link against that dll's export library
(.dll.a) But they are in EXECUTABLE, meaning that I cannot make a export
library...
Can somebody please point me in right direction?
Much appreciated,
