I'm mostly concerned with `-fms-extensions` + darwin, which doesn't apply to 
this scenario, maybe someone else knows a better answer here.

I think forcing the use of `-ffreestanding` with Apple platforms just for this 
is too restrictive.

Right, makes total sense. I'm assuming that `-fms-extensions` for other targets 
(Linux) will also rely in not using `_LIBCPP_MSVCRT`, however #ifdefing for 
other platforms here doens't seem to add much because they usually do not set 
`_MSC_VER` anyways. Additional ideas?
