I've pushed "Fix DLL imports of gccjit version functions." on the second
I've some perplexity.

First given is giving away two pragmas for adding three preprocessor
directives I'd say it is adding more kludge then what is removing.

Second this code would fail both link time and load time if the linker
cannot resolve one of these three functions making the test on the
result of dlsym in the run time pointless.  To work one needs to go
through function pointers as you are doing in Window, but some macrology
is requested otherwise would be a kludge^2.
