This should be fixed now in the master. Caolan did it faster then me :)

The problem was that we were linking with a partial static library 
instead of with the svlmi.dll library that we were supposed to 
unit-test. So, the __declspec(dllimport) * or the __imp_* in the mangled 
name being unresolved normally hints that we are linking with a static 
library where we should link a dynamic one. On Linux, this kind of 
things does not show up because the symbols are not decorated.

Cheers
