No, it's even worse than that.
Remember that, if ex.exe tries to compile a program which mentions
open_dll(), it errors out even though the the function won't ever be
executed because the call is protected by a "if platform()=??? then".
The error is generated before the platform dependent code is removed.
But replacing the call with "machine_func(50,"kernel32.dll") won't hurt.
