Corinna Vinschen 859c10beee autload.cc: Avoid clobbering return address in noload on i686
This fixes a long-standing problem when GetProcAddress fails
	to load a function.  The noload code calls SetLastError on
	i686 without saving the edx register.  Starting with Windows 7,
	SetLastError apparently uses $edx and the register is set to
	0x00000000 on return.  So the subsequent `jmp *$edx' in noload
	supposed to return to the caller, actually jumps to address NULL,
	which results in a SEGV.

        * autoload.cc (noload): i686 only: Save and restore $edx when calling
        SetLastError to avoid clobbering return address stating with Windows 7.
