There really isn't way. There is some ways to get around it, like 
bundling that DLL inside application, and load it from there.
Doesn't Linux need also static libs if you're are compiling statically 
linked? Or is Linux able to link dynamic libraries as static..? (Don't 
remember been so long time I fuzzed around with Linux compilation).
Other funny caveats are unbounded, or external symbols inside dynamic 
library. In linux they're solved at run time, in DLL you really have to 
solve them at link time... =)
