Link error when using WindowsProgramming::*

[jquesada2016]

Issue

If you place the following within a bindings sub-crate (build.rs):

fn main() {
    windows::build!(
        Windows::Win32::System::WindowsProgramming::*
    );
}

and the try to use anything from the bindings crate:

use bindings::Windows::Win32::System; // For example

fn main() {}

you end up with a linking error. If you would like me to provide the error, please let me know. I didn't want to include it here because of the sheer size...

Workaround

If instead of trying to build WindowsProgramming::*, you instead try to build against a specific function, i.e. WindowsProgramming::GetComputerName, then everything works.

Extra Details

I am using windows crate on the current latest version, 0.17.2, on Windows 10.
