THe ifdef machinery makes every function to go insto its own .o file which are then archived. So if user code never calls to fork, the .o file with fork wrapper should not be picked by linker and we should not have link error. If user code calls fork, then the .o file with wrapper should be picked and we will get linker error on missing fork. So I think it ought to work as it is now. Does mingw linker behave somehow differently with archives? Or is there problem with a libgcov being DLL or something?
