On Windows it is possible to link directly to a DLL but this is more normally done through a stub-library. So on a native build on Windows the mpir.dll is accompanied by the stub library mpir.lib. So an app links to the stub library which then links to the DLL itself. IIRC a symbol 'sym' in the DLL becomes '__imp__sym' in the stub library so it seems to me that the mingw/GCC build system is not producing a stub library.
