So I have recompiled and still doesnt't work.
One last remark and you will say that I am digging too much in details but
look
at what happens when exporting some variables  with gnu tools:

Please focus on ECORE_WINCE_EVENT_XXXXXX (actually you cannot missed them
because
of red marks)

so once again you have several entries with one definition here, another
there, ...

Now look at what I have simulated by creating a dll exporting exactly the
same variables with
msvc (ignore the dll name TestSeh_Dll_Arm and replace it mentally by
libecore_wince-ver-pre-svn-01-0.dll):

Personnaly I made my choice and I know which version is better.
But maybe there is something wrong in the way of exporting variables, or
maybe
there is good reason to do like that.
