To Save C, We Must Save ABI

Operating systems already do language-independent ABI files: https://github.com/marlersoft/win32json so the only thing missing is symbol versioning, which already has solutions: https://github.com/ziglang/glibc-abi-tool

> enabling you to target any version of glibc out of the box by building symbol mappings: https://github.com/ziglang/glibc-abi-tool/
This would be huge. How can I tell zig cc to use a particular glibc version though?

> I actually did this, to make it error out cleanly instead of having to debug this very non-obvious issue, quite recently: https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/commit/ca35236d9799af...
Thanks! I believe this will save many people a lot of time in their debugger.
> The runtime pseudo relocation fixing code ends up linked into your executables even if the executable doesn't use any runtime pseudo relocations - so essentially all MinGW programs will end up importing this function. That doesn't mean it does get called though.
Oops. Not a big deal, though; I assume it won't get called if the table is empty.
