I have no strong objections, but I would really like to understand why
this patch is so urgent.
libgcc exports "__chkstk" (prefixed with an additional underscore in assembler)
ntdll.dll exports "_chkstk" (prefixed with an additional underscore
in assembler).
ntdll.dll is not part of the documented userland win32api. To my
knowledge, it is not included in the Platform SDK.
I do not know how you created or use the import lib for ntdll.dll
On my Windows XP system kernel32.dll exports neither __chkstk nor _chkstk
by name.
How does the ntdll.dll export of "_chkstk" cause you problems in 4.4
but not in 4.3.
WTF has changed.
