Both the extern prototype and the function call are in dllhello.C. Thus it
does see the prototype. As a further note and after further testing, if I
use implib on other.dll, I get the export list. If I add an alias in the
.def file
InitAPI at 4
InitAPI=InitAPI at 4
then use dlltool to create the library, I can link against that library
successfully.
So it seems clear that --enable-stdcall-fixup isn't working as advertised.
Any idea why?
