So if the libmingwex is always linked statically, and the main part of the
CRT is always used dynamically from MSVCRT.dll (since static libraries from
different compilers can't be mixed), then what is the difference between
static and dynamic CRT linking? Or am I wrong and there is no such thing in
mingw(-w64)?
