Generally, gcc is supposed to arrange for -lgcc to be included
automatically in links if it's needed. I have seen failures like this
before on other platforms, and it generally had something to do with
using gcc followed by a non-gnu linker; which indeed seems to describe
what you did here. I would suggest adding -lgcc to your VC project;
or maybe where it actually went missing was in your build of libuuid.

This seems entirely inappropriate; it makes unwarranted assumptions
about which parts of libgcc are needed, and we couldn't ship any such
thing anyhow for license reasons.
