In theory, they should mean the same.

In practice, FPC currently only actually exports routines that are in  
the "exports" section of a library, or that are marked as export *and*  
that have been (re)compiled during the current compilation run (i.e.,  
that were not compiled previous compilation and simply loaded from  
a .ppu file). See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=16070
