[bug #32383] NSClassFromString returns nil on MinGw if the string class is in a shared library and hasn't yet been used

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #32383 (project gnustep):

Hmm, I'm actually inclined to wonder if neither windows nor linux is
correct.

Wouldn't the ideal situation be ... if the linker *didn't* load all classes
(like mingw), but the objc runtime function *did* check any shared libraries
in use, and load classes on demand?  We wouldn't load any code we didn't need,
but we would have all the stuff from disk available if we do need it.

I've no idea how to achieve that though.
