Sounds like you may be using the development tools (as, ld, gcc, etc) 
distributed with b19. If so, you might want to upgrade to egcs (site
below). At the very least, you should upgrade the binutils (as, ld, etc)
which fixes lots of these little bugs.

Also, it might help if you would detail the steps you're taking to build
the DLLs and also the command line used to compile/link client programs.

See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for more info.
