"Harmless" in what sense? Should they do nothing at all? Probably
not, or else you wouldn't be loading them, right?
Even in your specific use-case, did you want the w32-fns functions to
end up in the obarray or not?
IOW, can you come up with a general enough definition of the reason(s)
for loading w32-fns on non-w32 systems? Without such a definition, I
don't see how can we do anything except making the entire file be
ignored on any system but w32.
