Look in Modules/Platform/Windows-bcc32.cmake for the variables

CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE
CMAKE_C_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY
CMAKE_C_CREATE_SHARED_MODULE
CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE
CMAKE_CXX_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY
CMAKE_CXX_CREATE_SHARED_MODULE

Their settings contain the rules for linking .exe and .dll files.  They 
start with <CMAKE_C_COMPILER> and <CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER>.  You can replace 
these link rules by setting your own values for these variables.

Please also report this as a bug here:
