Do not static assert symbol size on Windows

commit 3573abe1d added static asserts to ensure that symbol sizes
don't vary.  However, the Windows ABI requires a different layout than
the ABI commonly in use on Unix systems, and so these asserts fail.

This patch simply disables these asserts on Windows.
