+
+ Actually, depending on preprocessor conditions that we don't want
+ to mirror here (as they may change depending on readline versions),
+ readline may define these globals as well, relying on the linker
+ merging them if needed (-fcommon). That doesn't work with
+ -fno-common or C++, so instead we define the symbols as weak.
+ Don't do this on Windows though, as MinGW gcc 3.4.2 doesn't support
+ weak (later versions, e.g., 4.8, do support it). Given this stub
+ file originally was Windows only, and we only needed this when we
+ made it work on other hosts, it should be OK. */
