The export decorator cannot be removed as is unknow how one project will 
build and try to export symbols.

Please find attached file bootstrap.sh with test cases that show export 
functionality on windows platform gcc compiler - function "export" 
depend from export statement and export attribute:
Test cases 1 are without export decorator as 1x export only one of 
functions. Application 1x fail to link
Test cases 2 are with export attribute as 2x export only one of 
functions. Boot application will be linked due explicitly defined export 
attribute.

Export of variables is other case .

Also if export attribute is applied only to variables if I remember 
function will not be exported.
