I just noticed this. I found an explanation from 2017:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-June/113925.html Anyone
able to elaborate more on this?

I'm not super familiar with development on Windows, so I hadn't even
thought about exports. I'm testing out the cmake
WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS property to see if it's at all possible to
build shared libs on Windows. I'm assuming distributing static
libraries is too fragile to consider?
