Even that I have about zero experience with nasm, perhaps some of the
following could help?

First I recommend you run "dumpbin /symbols" on the generated object file.
For a comparison of what the symbols should look like, you could try
creating a dummy C file like:

void __stdcall glCallList(int a) {}

The exported symbol should be "_glCallList at 4" with External linkage.

Could it possibly be so simple that you're missing "GLOBAL x" (or "global
x:function", or any other nasm-allowed construction to tag a name as
public), where x is the (fully decorated) function name?

I hope some of it helps.
