You don't say which versions you're using.  I just tried this in
version 2.0.0, and got the following:

$ Rcmd SHLIB test.f test2.f
g77 -O2 -Wall   -c test.f -o test.o
g77 -O2 -Wall   -c test2.f -o test2.o
ar cr test.a test.o test2.o
ranlib test.a
gcc  --shared -s  -o test.dll test.def test.a
-Lf:/R/rw2000/src/gnuwin32  -lg2c
 -lR

So it looks to me as though you're not using the same SHLIB script as
me, or there's something wrong with your setup.  Did you set up your
path the way README.packages advises?
