Link errors due to forcibly exporting findPtr

The change in https://phabricator.haskell.org/rGHC900c47f88784b91517c00be3e1087322e62f698e is causing link errors due to the combination of -Wl,-u and -Wl,--export-all-symbols

Wrong exit code for T10955dyn()(expected 0 , actual 2 )
Stderr ( T10955dyn ):
E:/ghc-dev/msys64/home/Tamar/ghc/rts/dist/build/libHSrts_thr.a(Printer.thr_o): In function `findPtr':
E:\ghc-dev\msys64\home\Tamar\ghc/rts/Printer.c:880: multiple definition of `findPtr'
./bin_dyn/libA.dll.a(d020776.o):(.text+0x0): first defined here

I believe the correct solution is to just use a cabal flag to emulate the setup we had with make, instead of forcing this symbol always.
