I've re-examined this now to discover why we had this regression.
Originally, say in 0.7.5, everything was linking fine on Mingw32 without
this .defs file. I figured out that this is because Mingw32 was ignoring
our .syms file, and using its default logic of exporting *everything* :-)
Then, in

Fix export of virConnectAuthPtrDefault for MinGW builds
Use the __declspec(dllexport/dllimport) stuff to export the symbol,
otherwise accessing virConnectAuthPtrDefault triggers a segfault.
We used declspec() on the virConnectAuthPtrDefault. This turned off the
Mingw32 logic that exported everything & thus caused virsh link failures.
Adding this .defs file as per your patch re-exports everything.
It sucks that we export everything, but it is no worse than the old
situation we had on mingw.
ACK to this patch

Okay, I rebased and pushed it.
