Well I was wrong about \WINDOWS\WinSxS and the search path. It is recognized, but I still get the R6034 error. I cannot get distutils to build a Pyrex extension with MinGW because distutils.msvc9compiler cannot find vcvarsall.bat. I did successfully run a program, python.c from SVN, compiled with MinGW and linked to python26.dll. So python26.dll lacks the restrictions of msvcr90.dll. And msvcr90.dll can be loaded indirectly.
**warning, speculation ahead This suggests that, if the Python developers are willing, python26.dll could expose the C standard library functions itself. It would then just be a matter of using custom C export libraries, just as I now do for msvcr71. Python stub functions have already been discussioned on Python-dev.
