Okay, it didn't work.  The dll was easy to create:

   dlltool --export-all --output-exp libstdc++.exp --output-lib 
libstdc++.dll.a /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
   gcc -shared libstdc++.exp /usr/lib/libstdc++.a -o libstdc++.dll
   rm libstdc++.exp

But there were a couple of link errors from the following main:

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl;
 return 0;
}

$ gcc hello.o -L. -lstdc++.dll -o direct
fu000001.o: undefined reference to `_libstdc__dll_a_iname'
nmth000000.o: undefined reference to `__nm___ZSt4cout'
Info: resolving std::cout  by linking to __imp___ZSt4cout (auto-import)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any suggestions?
