I notice that smokes for: MSWin32 Win2000 Professional SP4 (x86/1 cpu) are failing with the above missing symbol; I suspect they would have done so since that mutex was introduced by 49d7d366 (Feb 2018), but the earliest report I found for this system was http://perl.develop-help.com/raw/?id=235646 for 22f2eee2167e (Jan 2019). I assume there's some sort of extern magic that needs to happen, but I don't know what that is. HugoThread Next
