[newlib-cygwin/topic/posix_acl_funcs] Don't use LoadLibraryEx(..., LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32). It hangs


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;h=fcda8810a208b6b76ae95a88feea34ff0046ba1e

commit fcda8810a208b6b76ae95a88feea34ff0046ba1e
Author: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
Date:   Wed Jan 27 15:43:15 2016 +0100

    Don't use LoadLibraryEx(..., LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32).  It hangs
    
    	Observed running hexchat under X.  For some reason the call to
    	LoadLibraryEx(..., LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32) in dll_load
    	hangs when trying to autoload MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx in
    	select.cc after hexchat forks to run DNS calls.  Dropping the
    	call and just using full paths as in 2.3.1 fixes the issue.
    
    	* autoload.cc (dll_load): Drop call to LoadLibraryEx with
    	LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32 flag.
    	* wincap.h (wincaps::has_load_lib_search_flags): Remove.
    	* wincap.cc (wincaps::has_load_lib_search_flags): Drop handling
    	this flag.
