Yes this work, because this lib provides an auto-importable var. But try a lib which depends
on this lib, than objdump will fail with a segment violation.
This is an example from cygkdecore-3.dll (the kdecore dll of kde 2.2.1) which uses
qt-2.3.dll, which exports such auto-importable vars

Appended is a little testapp, that shows the bug with ncurses6.

May be that helps identifing the bug.
