Are you really sure it is not exported by dinput.dll? The usual tools
list all the exported *functions* but I'm not sure they list exported
variables. You seem to think that dinput.lib is a static library which
is very doubtful.

Given the current Winelib capabilities you cannot.
Even if you were to make a dinput.a it would be useless. It would solve
the link error, but you would end up with two c_dfDIJoystick2 variables:
* one stored in dinput.dll.so
* one stored in your own application and coming from dinput.a
Your application would read/write the latter variable which would
obviously have no effect whatsoever on the variable stored in
dinput.dll.so.
