Not true. When using mingw/gcc, distutils ensures that msvcr71.dll is used - the same CRT as Python. (I know, I was involved in implementing the change). > *If* distutils supported VC8 it would be as effective as using gcc. (?) My understanding is that VC8 only supports using msvcr80.dll, which is incompatible.
