  And indeed it seems that we aren't the first to discover this.

  I don't build dlls often, and even less so with gnu tools.  What is the
meaning of passing a .def file to the compiler?  Since there's nothing in
there to compile, but plenty of symbol names, I wonder, is this just to get
the same .def filename passed through to the linker command-line?  Try
prefixing it with "-Wl," if that's the case.
