I've tested our support for ucrtbase.dll a bit further by trying building a handful of libraries with it, and fixing the issues I run into. With these patches, I'm able to build among others Qt (tested with 5.7.1).
Some libraries have an issue where autoconf tries to detect whether e.g. snprintf or similar exist, by just checking if linking to a function with that name succeeds. Since there is no function with that name in the import library, it will fail and think that a replacement needs to be provided, which then clashes with the real ones in stdio.h. (Configure checks that actually include the headers generally work though.)
