Ok, I agree on this.

Actually we have to define macro for each library which exposes
global variables.  While building libstdc++.dll, "__sF[]" should
be "__declspec(dllimport) extern FILE __sF[]" and "cout" should
be "__declspec(dllexport) extern _IO_ostream_withassign cout".

This is a kind of DLL Hell ;-(

The run-time linker is also a PECOFF executable.  So we need
build environment targetting PECOFF.  This change is the first
step to build it in the main source tree.
