linker_unload test doesn't work on Windows

I fixed up the major issues but I am getting:

changed weight to 5

added Tbug Trac import testsuite labels

I'm afraid I can't help here - it looks like select might need to be added to RTS_MINGW_ONLY_SYMBOLS, but why for this test and not when GHCi loads the base package? Is there something else we need to load on Windows?

That would be my guess. Is there a more "proper" way to get the dependencies you need? I guess that functionality is usually implemented in Haskell-land.

I think this might now work on Windows, but someone needs to check: rGHC6108d95a73f93d486223064ad72bf6bedc116cbd

It does work now! I'll push a commit marking this as passing when I can.
