Then we're at cross purposes here... in the regex case, using the
workaround you describe (building a static lib first, and then linking with
a stub dll entry point), the lib would contain symbols that need to be in
the dll, but are not referenced by any code within the dll itself - these
symbols do not end up in the dll with gcc (and yes I've checked).

No, everything is exported, exported symbols do not (necessarily) reference
each other.

Yes, you've cheated<bg>, by referencing symbols in the lib from the dll
source.
