This is a bug report for perl from rurban@cpanel.net,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.19.4.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
MSWin32 does not link DynaLoader.obj into the resulting perl*.dll

cygwin and all other platform do it. On Windows we have only 
boot_DynaLoader exported, and any usage of those XS functions
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_error
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_find_symbol
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_install_xsub
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_load_file
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_undef_symbols
  XS_DynaLoader_dl_unload_file
must go through exceptionally ugly and slow eval_pv code via perl.

This is one of the main blockers for the new compiler release for Windows.
