--- Comment #2 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
We document that attribute-dllimport implies extern storage class, so this
should be accepted similar to 'extern struct s var; struct s *ptr = &var;'.
MinGW-W64 GCC 5.3 used to accept this, so this is a regression. Unfortunately I
don't have other versions handy to check which releases regressed.
