Interesting. I think that it is assumed that "PIC" code will work in a

automatic DLL import feature.
Unless you're using MinGW to build a DLL (that exports data items?), and
is intended for use with MSVC. Or your name is Bruno, and you don't
like auto-import:

As a data point, I believe that GraphicsMagick explicitly dll exports
functions and data when it is built under MinGW, however it has not
used convenience libraries in its build for many years since they are
so archaic. It does not explicitly explicitly dll export under
Cygwin.
I don't currently have a MinGW DLL build of GraphicsMagick using GCC
4.X. I will try to do it.
