No, it is good to know that, and thanks for that report. In retrospect, the reason why that works is ltdl_win32.c is only used for the dynamic drivers case, and that case isn't supported by the static build. Of course, the static build doesn't support lots of other PLplot features so we emphasize the shared library with dynamic devices build instead as the default. And it is for that default case, that 5.9.8 fails to build for Windows. Therefore, we intend to deal with this issue with some urgency. We are right in the middle of considering the quickest way to (a) completely test the patch on all Windows systems accessible to us, and (b) make the (tested) patch widely available for all our numerous Windows users.
