The dependency comes from Gnulib. Emacs uses the gnulib module 'nanosleep',
and it picks the nanosleep function from libwinpthread-1.dll. I can reproduce
this directly in Gnulib.

Since this DLL dependency is an annoyance also for other people who produce
Windows binaries (I'm thinking of gettext and others), I'll change Gnulib
to avoid this dependency.

Thanks; that's a nice shortcut, because I usually have 'objdump' in my $PATH.
