Interestingly, cygwin.h includes this:
/* Binutils does not handle weak symbols from dlls correctly. For now,
 do not use them unnecessarily in gthr-posix.h. */
#define GTHREAD_USE_WEAK 0
but mingw32 doesn't. I assume that mingw32 binutils has exactly the
same bug, so this is perhaps a mistake. Danny?
Anyway, I'd have no objection to 
#ifdef OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF
because it's only ELF targets where we're sure this works.
