WIN-31: boehm-gc don't do SEH in GCC

[Boehm, Hans]

It looks to me like it's relatively easy to do that by suitably renaming the
GC_win32s
global (GC_no_win32_dlls?), initializing it to true in the gcc case, and
dynamically setting it to true if we are really running on win32S (does it
still exist?).  But I haven't tried it.  If that works, I'd favor such a
patch.  It seems like the most plausible short-term solution.

Hans, what do you think about adding some sort of NO_DYNAMIC_LOADING
compile-time option with the behavior above?
