Research direction

Reproduce the MSVC build and inspect the warning in wasm-interpreter.h around line 4702, then trace the -fno-rtti option reported for third_party/gtest.vcxproj. Determine where the MSVC-specific build settings or pragmas are configured. Done means the reported MSVC warnings are removed without breaking other toolchains.
