And a bit of background...
build/generator/extractor.py is a file used by gen-make.py on Windows to
construct the list of functions that the DLL's export. That file is not
aware of C preprocessor macros, so functions that are #define'd away on
Windows must be explicitly excepted in it.
r1209610 added another instance of "functions whose declerations are
#define'd away", but failed to update the exceptions list. The fallout
is that extractor.py includes those functions in the list of exported
symbols, but the compiler doesn't see their definitions, and
consequently linking fails since the to-be-exported symbol doesn't
exist in the object file.
