Uh ... so, when you want to do debugging, build a static version; this doesn't preclude using a .dll mechanism for normal non-debugging use.
Also I don't know why symbols would be lost. I debug all of the time with mame compiled as a shared library (.so on Linux) and this works just fine, I've never had a problem.
I'm not sure who in their right mind would do debugging on Windows anyway. I find it to be far too flaky to trust with intense debugging sessions.
