but i think that's really the only sane way.
unless you can guarantee that Pd and all externals are built with the
same compiler.

yes, i think so (but i'm really not quite sure).

LDFLAGS="-static-libgcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-import $(PDBINDIR)/pd.dll"

sounds like:
- statically linking the C-runtime ("-static-libgcc").
- don't search the PDBINDIR for potentially clashing libraries.

but i really don't know.

afaict, Gem really requires to link against msvcrt.
and gives me endless troubles, because of this¹.
other libraries probably don't (e.g. the pd-lib-builder ones).
