--- Comment #1 from Reid Kleckner <rnk at google.com> ---
When you use a dllimported function in a global constant initializer, you end
up getting the address of a thunk from the import library instead of the
address of the actual function.  It's worse for globals, where you get a link
error instead.

This will be hard to fix because a GlobalValue in LLVM is a Constant, and LLVM
optimizers will try to fold it into the initializer.
