You could use the gcc way to handle dll init code. Declare two functions 
like:

static void MyStartupFunc(void) __attribute__((constructor));
void MyStartupFunc(void)
{
	// your code
}
static void MyExitFunc(void) __attribute__((destructor));
void MyExitFunc(void)
{
	// your code
}

See __attribute__ in the gcc manual or in the mingw archives.
