Muahahahaha. I couldn't sleep. I just had to check something...

So, here it goes, if you

        configure NM="dumpbin -symbols"

on MinGW, stresstest succeeds with this patch, so I guess the
info is buried in the objects somewhere. It's just nm that is
a little less informative than needed in this case.
