Hi all, do we have any progress on this matter?

Since both libstdc++ and libc++ properly handle this case, and one of reasons 
for this change was running tests with msvcrt{20,40}.dll, I think this patch 
could be dropped and this change could be delayed until someone gets to 
implement quick_exit and at_quick_exit for CRTs which do not have them.

With this, we could also drop the last patch which enables tests for 
msvcrt{20,40}.dll on CI. Existing CI run on my fork should prove that fixes in 
remaining patches actually fix some things and do not break others.

I like the idea of testing other CRTs on CI, but our approach of statically 
linking libstdc++ configured for msvcrt.dll/UCRT, in my opinion, is very 
fragile and can break any moment. There should be better ways to achieve this 
goal; I can try to figure out something later if we decide to drop the last 
patch.

What about this one? Will you re-send this one with a commit message or would 
you like to investigate this a little more?
