If they do not provide the source : for the DLL then this violates the intention of the GPL. Apparently I was mistaken. The claim is that the DLL only provides support for Unix system calls that were already in the GNU code. *If* this is true then the DLL is a sort of operating system extension rather than modifications to the GNU source and it is not necessary to release the source code for it.
