auto-export was added more than 10 years ago:
Mon Nov 9 16:41:30 1998 DJ Delorie <...>
* emultempl/pe.em (gld_i386_list_options): list dll-specific
options.
* pe-dll.c (process_def_file): auto-export everything if
nothing is otherwise exported.
and IIRC --export-all-symbols was part of that addition. I know I
updated the (scanty, at the time) documentation for --export-all-symbols
in 2001:
2001-08-02 Charles Wilson <...>
* ld.texinfo: add additional documentation for
--export-all-symbols. Document --out-implib,
--enable-auto-image-base, --disable-auto-image-base,
--dll-search-prefix, --enable-auto-import, and
--disable-auto-import.
* ldint.texinfo: Add detailed documentation on auto-import
implementation.
So I think we're good...
