Subject: [Bug c/8859] [CygWin] Initializer element allegedly not constant

This should be closed, IMO.  The initializer element is not constant, as 
explained in my last post, so the error report is valid.

Here is minimal testcase:

__declspec (dllimport) int foo;
int*  hook = &foo;

This is what MS compiler say about it:
cl /c address.c
d:\develop\bugs\address.c(2) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant

This is what gcc (3.4) says:
gcc -c address.c 
address.c:2: error: initializer element is not constant

A workaround is available for dllimported function addresses (not data) and 
that is to use -mnop-fun-dllimport switch to ignore the attribute for functions
