The --export-dynamic linker option is only applicable to ELF.
On Windows, where COFF is used, it causes warnings:

    x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: warning: --export-dynamic is not supported
    for PE+ targets, did you mean --export-all-symbols? (MinGW)

    LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/-export-dynamic';
    ignored (clang)

Don't add --export-dynamic on Windows anywhere.

Using TLS variables with DLLs is problematic on Windows for now,
so not attempting to check or solve the issue with plugin load.

Applied, thanks

Why we didn't catch it in advance in CI?

I think Windows CI still passes on builds with warnings, maybe we can change it now that we cleared all of them.
