It exports the symbols OK for these cases:

-          windows-x64 architecture

-          windows-x64-static architecture if the Makefile contains SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES, whether I use LIBRARY_HOST or LOADABLE_LIBRARY_HOST.

Just be aware of and careful about the dynamic and static variants of Windows builds additionally setting other compiler flags differently. Mixing object code that has been produced with different flags may create unwanted bad side effects. I.e., you shouldn't put object code from a dynamic build into a static library and vice versa.

(Disclaimer: I did not follow the thread closely, so this specific use case may be doing things right.)
