Comment:

 this needs more analysis

 a) what is ??????? ?
 b) // JOSE FIX line  will break normal gcc compilations

 Is one using "visibility" in the command line options?

 I believe that what is necessary is that the "force include" functionality
 be suppressed for builds of the library version of the DLLS.

 I realize that this is a problem, but I don't see enough information here
 to be able to address it.

 BTW - doesn't the definition of MINGW32 imply the definition of GNUC ? so
 I can't see how the suggested fix would change anything.
