Ah, yes...I _have_ been using Windows too long...and completely forgot
about the possibility of "lazy binding" in all of this because Windows
doesn't have that one...

Though, surely, if it were a case of "lazy binding", though LD wouldn't
complain, true enough, then we should surely still be getting a complaint
at run-time, when the "libc" code tries to access "errno"?
