Hmmm... this is all new to me, but I think that '-z now' just needs the 
loadable modules to not be underlinked?

So, I've split this patch into two, the one bit of underlinking I needed 
to fix (since I don't build most modules), and the PE peculiarities 
(dealing with the fact that symbols from the executable are needed at 
link time, rather than load time).

Applying the second one is probably not a good idea as it requires a 
very recent meson.
