Question regarding building dlls

[Greg Clinton <greg dot clinton at wonderware dot com>]

I'm having trouble with dll's that I build with gcc and dlltool. Any
time I try do do anything useful within a dll function, such as call
new or call any Win32 API, I get an access violation. Does anyone see
what I'm doing wrong? Below I provide mydll.cpp, mydll.def, myprog.c,
and build.bat. I'm using gcc version 2.95.2-5 19991024 (cygwin experimental)
Ultimately I intend to build an inproc COM server.

Thanks in advance for your help.
