It does that because native MS compiler does that as do/did other Windows compilers (I
think MSVC actually says "dllexport assumed"). The behaviour is due to a patch committed
in gcc 3.0 development but was also in the sources used by cygwin and mingw in 2.95.3
days. There are several testsuite cases that expect this behaviour.
In olden (pre -funit-at-a-time) days it was critical because without the override
semantics we would sometimes get a function being used as a dllimport than later in the
same TU it would find a definition and the RTL generation would blow up.
