Note that dllimport/dllexport decorations are not at all required on
Cygwin for quite some time.
Worse, this breaks building DLLs and DLL import libs using libtool.
On Cygwin --export-all-symbols is default. However, if just a single
symbol is decorated with dllexport, ld switches to exporting only these
symbols.
So, when creating DLLs and DLL import libs which are also linked against
libgnu.a, the result is that the actual DLL (i. e. cygfoo-1.dll)
contains all symbols of all object files given on the command line.
However, the DLL import lib (i. e. libfoo.dll.a) will contain only the
default symbols and the single symbol gl_get_setlocale_null_lock.
This in turn breaks linking against the just created cygfoo-1.dll.
An example of that is current recode. Building this package with
--enable-shared is broken, unless one adds -Wl,--export-all-symbols to
the link stage command line explicitely, because of the decorated
gl_get_setlocale_null_lock variable.
Fix this by dropping the dllexport decoration when building for the
Cygwin target.
* lib/setlocale-lock.c: don't decorate gl_get_setlocale_null_lock
as dllexport on Cygwin.
* lib/setlocale_null.c: don't dllimport gl_get_setlocale_null_lock
on Cygwin.
