Interesting; FWIW, it seems like the test for `/Zl` fails because it skips
including the CRT glue code that takes the startup from the Windows specific
`mainCRTStartup()` to the regular `main()`. I wonder when/if this test passed
at some point.
As for how this works without those options: In MSVC build configs, the
standard libraries usually aren't injected by the compiler when doing the link
- on the contrary, in most cases, one doesn't actually do linking by invoking
the compiler, but the build usually calls `link.exe` or `lld-link` directly.
The info about what libraries should be linked in is conveyed via directives
embedded in the object files. So as long as we're not using any MS STL headers
that inject such directives, we don't automatically try to link against it.
Then secondly - in MSVC configurations, libc++ always builds on top of the MSVC
C++ runtime for the base ABI stuff, so we actually do need it linked - and we
pass the necessary libraries for that manually when we link our library.
