I found out the cause of the problem.

First I tried to verify if the linker was able to find 
sqlite3.lib using Process Monitor by Mark Russinovich, and at 
least there were IRP_MJ_CREATE, FASTIO_QUERY_INFORMATION, 
IRP_MJ_READ and FASTIO_READ operations with the correct path to 
sqlite3.lib where the result was SUCCESS, so apparently the 
linker could find the file.

So I opened sqlite3.bn in notepad++ just to see the name of the 
symbols and not even one started with an underscore, so I created 
sqlite3.lib again with these arguments and this time it compiled:

implib /system sqlite3.lib sqlite3.dll
