Ah, that makes more sense than what I was thinking: that it was trying to make
sure the unused symbol wasn't being optimized away.

Given that constant is declared with visibility("hidden"), why would it end up
in a symbol table? Windows DLLs have tables for items explicitly exported, but
that's contrary to asking the symbol to be hidden.

No, that doesn't make a difference.

No, registering the libraries doesn't work on Windows (as discussed in the
other patch were we introduced the -2 magic value). The Windows search rules
for DLLs are quite complex -- it would be very difficult to replicate them in
lldb.

But that would leave the test failing for a reason other than the underlying
problem: that we can't resolve the symbol, which probably indicates an
incomplete implementation somewhere. I think a test that failure that points
to the root problem is more useful than a general
this-doesn't-even-link-on-Windows error.
