See the other thread. I found by looking at the asm output that
what __API_AVAILABLE actually does is cause the compiler to emit
a ".weak_reference" directive when calling a function it thinks
might not be available. So there's some sort of weak linking
going on, though it's certainly possible that it's not shaped
in a way that'd help us do this the way we'd prefer.
