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

Not a bug, as explained by Danny. And it does emit a correct error message in 
all open branches. Thanks Danny for your patches!
