Actually I did mean export -- I copied the wrong example.

__attribute__ ((dllexport)) int _fmode = _O_BINARY;
foo.c:123: warning: '_fmode' redeclared without dllimport attribute: 
previous dllimport ignored

The code compiles fine, but I still get an annoying warning, which does 
not make sense to me. Is it resolvable?

I am attempting to set O_BINARY as default so read() calls will give me 
real data instead of translated garbage.

Thanks,
