No, that's not right.  Please add the new functions to autoload.cc and
drop static linking to libpdh.a.

The load average is global, non-critical data.  So what about storing it
in shared_info instead?  This way, only the first call of the first
Cygwin process returns all zero.

How slow is that initialization?  Would it {make sense|hurt} to call it
once in the initalization of Cygwin's shared mem in shared_info::initialize?

As for the declaration problem on x86, what about moving the declarations
to the start of loadavg.cc, until we get a new w32api-headers package?

JonY, any chance for a quick update of w32api-headers to include the
patch from https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/35727667/?


Thanks,
Corinna
