It's needed by:

I'm not sure what are the exact compatibility considerations here,
but for win8+ builds we could just use LdrResolveDelayLoadedAPI and
make __delayLoadHelper2 just a thin wrapper. See how Wine handles it:
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/HEAD:/dlls/winecrt0/delay_load.c#l38
If we consider UCRT builds to be win8+, we could do the same for
UCRT builds.
I tried to play with that. But in the end that means building
mingwex that can only be used with win8+ or not pass the store.
We would need to move __delayLoadHelper2 to be defined in msvcrt
importlib first. Then we could use different implementation for
different crts. UCRT could use LdrResolveDelayLoadedAPI, but other
msvcrt version could keep using the existing implementation.
Wasn't LdrResolveDelayLoadedAPI only available since Win 8? UCRT is
runnable on Win 7, and I don't think we want to drop support for that
combination. (Not that most users use delay loading, but anyway...)
Yes. That's also where separate crt would be handy again: we could
change it only for UWP builds. I'm not sure it's a big deal to limit
support for win7 in UCRT in general, but if you prefer to support that,
that's fine with me. We will need a compat stub then.
Thanks,
Jacek
