Well, it could be that the compiler is optimizing away the reference to
i. That could be settled by trying this code as a DLL instead:

    #include <stdio.h>
    extern int i;
    void f(void) {
        printf("%d\n", i);
    }

If that compiles, then my guess about Windows DLL restrictions is plain
wrong (I am no expert in Windows anyway).
