I already experimented not to including w32headp.c but locally define
enum {OS_OSWIN95 = 1, OS_NT }; and extern int os_subtype; and found
the compilation passed but the same link error occurred.

Normally (without Benjamin's patch) _heap_init and _heap_term are
provided by w32heap.c but the patch somehow pulls in these function
from the MS library I suppose.  I suspect Jason's theory of hidden
malloc maybe the case.

I'll continue to investigate.
