This isn't a very useful suggestion. We build using mingw precisely
to avoid touching Windows at all.

Even freedesktop offers Windows CI instances where you can build natively.

I have honest doubts about projects doing releases for Windows without ever running it.

I'm a little confused about the thread though. If we use mingw32-*
after this change, does it still use msvcrt?

There is no change on the existing mingw32 and mingw64 targets. Did you read the proposal? :)

Rich.
