The sandbox build makes use of a small number of weak symbols. Allow these to be dropped when building for the PE format, since its support for weak symbols is poor.
This comment does not explain the necessity of the change. Why is it really needed? Has the compiler version in MSYS a problem?
Yes, from what I understand, PE has never really supported weak symbols properly. I'm not sure if that has changed, but it doesn't look like it.
I'm hoping there is another workaround.
That said, I really don't like weak symbols and I think we should use them less.
