I don't think that's it, ether, but I'll work up some test cases to
see.

Here is a problem that doesn't work with old method and has been
reported to mingw list recently.

DllClass::static_class gets exported. Howvere, when building client
code, GCC complains about inconsistent dll linkage and as per usual
rule dllexport wins over dllimport for DllClass::static_class.  All
that when using DLLIMPORT.  I am currently testing a one line-change in
gcc/config/i386/winnt.c that fixes (but may break other things).  

But, when using --enable-auto-import without DLLIMPORT, the recursion
works, just at it does with static libs.

Attached example.

Danny
