Some DNS API functions (such as DnsServiceConstructInstance(), DnsServiceFreeInstance(), DnsServiceRegister(), DnsServiceDeRegister() and DnsServiceRegisterCancel()) are declared without the WINAPI modifier, causing them to use __cdecl instead of __stdcall.

Forcing the use of __stdcall (/Gz MSVC option) allows to work around the issue.
