Possibly. American courts have *sometimes* held that, for purposes of
interoperation with other software and/or hardware, you can ignore
licensing terms/copyrights that would prevent that interoperation. Has
the GPL ever been tested in an appeals court for Windows .DLLs and the
associated .LIB files? If not, we're guessing what would happen.
