To wrap this up:
With a small follow-up by Kai, I could solve my linking problem (only
to encounter another yet unsolved one, but there you go...)

Indeed, and when using the .def file alias mechanism below, it seems
one needs to omit trailing underscores of symbol names. dlltool
automagically takes care of that.

Using the alias above in the .def file works like a treat - be mindful
though to use '==' instead of '=': dlltool eats both and linking works
without a hitch, but the single-'='-alias is for *static* linking,
which is far from what I intended. Probably useful to shut up unused
dependencies, though.
