My references were ambiguous about that when I wrote that code.

Can you replace the direct call to _resetstkoflw with a call through a
pointer which is assigned the right address at run time, if the
function available, and avoid calling it if not?  Like what we do with
the other such functions in w32.c and elsewhere.

I can write the code for this, if you want, but I cannot test it.

Thanks.
