build: fix using ELF-only linker flags with COFF
Checks
Commit Message
The --export-dynamic linker option is only applicable to ELF.
On Windows, where COFF is used, it causes warnings:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: warning: --export-dynamic is not supported
for PE+ targets, did you mean --export-all-symbols? (MinGW)
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/-export-dynamic';
ignored (clang)
Don't add --export-dynamic on Windows anywhere.
Fixes: b031e13d7f0d ("build: fix plugin load on static build")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Using TLS variables with DLLs is problematic on Windows for now,
so not attempting to check or solve the issue with plugin load.

Applied, thanks
Why we didn't catch it in advance in CI?

I think Windows CI still passes on builds with warnings, maybe we can change it now that we cleared all of them.
