Put all the functions into a library. Link the application and the modules against this library (building only the appA's main() into the executable). It was also reported that creating an import library (or stub library) for the executables functions is sufficient if it is linked in, IIRC it was the same problem with naim & plugins. Maybe there are some useful hints in the naim sources.
