+// On Windows MSVC, default-linker-libraries=yes doesn't work because
+// rustc drives the linker directly instead of going through another compiler.
+// Therefore rustc would need to implement default-linker-libraries itself but doesn't.
+// So instead we use -Clink-arg to directly set the required msvcrt.lib as a link arg.
