Gregory, thanks!
Now I understand.
Actually now that I think about it what I wrote is not true :(
The free Express version available from MS is MSVC 2005. MSVC 2003 is not
available for free for quite a long time by now, so getting msvcr71d.dll is
possible only from internet mirrors that allow you to download any kind of
dll files but probably violate MS distribution policy.
Harmony can be built using MSVC 2005 on win32 but it requires some hacking of
native code and build files. I used to "turn off" awt, swing, imageio, print
and some other class library modules that use API marked as "deprecated" by
MS.
As for using debug versions of binaries, the only way is to install commercial
version of MSVC 2003.
It's been a while since I read the MSVC redist text, but I'm not
convinced we are allowed to redistribute the debug versions.
In addition, each new artifact we redistribute must be called out in our
notices file.
Regards,
Tim

During NCAI discussion Vasily Levchenko mentioned possible open source

Sure, you can install free MSVC.NET Express and then you'll have debug
runtime installed.

Alexey,
I have noticed the following line in your build:
working_vm/make/vm/common-vm.xml: <syslibset
libs="msvcrtd" if="is.windows" unless="is.cfg.release"/>
From the other side I have not noticed that this Microsoft library
is mentioned in working_*/make/depends.properties
How the build system may be able to produce a debug build which
would contain a debugging DLL version for those who don't have MSVC
installed?
AFAIK this library is not distributed separately from MSVC.NET
(Microsoft distributes only non-debug version of its runtime), so
MSVC presence is required.
