***BOGO*** [Mingw-users] Odd link messages. Are they dangerous?

["Bruce M. Axtens" <bruce.axtens@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used the MinGW .a to Windows .lib transformation process as detailed 
in a thread on the gmp-discuss list, as below (acting against a GMP 
4.2.4 library created with --disable-shared --enable-static.)

cp libgmp.a gmp.a
ranlib gmp.a
mv gmp.a gmp.lib

I now have a .lib file against which VC++6 seems to have no difficulty 
linking. What concerns me now is warning messages I'm getting from the 
link phase:

LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "___mb_cur_max" imported
LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "__pctype" imported
LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "__iob" imported

At this point in the proceedings these make no difference to the running 
of my DLL (which wraps certain GMP functionality). But is that good 
enough? Will having these three symbols from libgmp.a linked in to my 
Windows DLL end up biting me later on?

Kind regards,
Bruce.
