Hey Terry I had asked about this on discuss (https://discuss.python.org/t/toolchain-upgrade-on-windows/6377/2), and Steve provided some very valuable input. In particular, building with the newer VS (that supports C11) should stay ABI-compatible with everything that has been built on Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019: > This is different from all previous Visual C++ versions, as they each had > their own distinct runtime files, not shared with other versions. (from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/windows/universal-crt-deployment?view=msvc-160&viewFallbackFrom=vs-2019), due to the way the (now-)universal runtime is designed.
