The strings(1) call got left out of that test.  Here’s a working variant, which tests for getpwent() calls instead:

    $ cat <<END > checkfile
    if strings "$1" | egrep -q '^getpwent$' ; then echo $1 ; fi
    END
    $ find /bin -name \*.exe -exec sh checkfile {} \;

Alas, Vim *does* call this API.  Results:

/bin/ali.exe
/bin/biber.exe
/bin/cppcheck.exe
/bin/emacs-nox.exe
/bin/emacs-w32.exe
/bin/emacs-X11.exe
