I look at it this way: -fleading-underscore adds an underscore on
platforms where it is not necessary (and is a no-op on platforms where
leading underscore is already required); -fno-leading-underscore undoes
the effect of an earlier -fleading-underscore (removes the underscore
where possible, and is a no-op on platforms like cygwin where it is not
possible).
