I need help compiling static linked msix.dll on Windows

I have installed the dependencies and prerequisites that are prescribed in the README., but I am unable to execute makewin.cmd x86 -mt on Windows (10, if that's important). Basically, I just need to make a very simple change in the MSIX Core (already done), however I can't figure out what I've done wrong or what I'm missing when compiling the dll. I can see it's a linker issue, that it cannot find what looks like the standard library, but it should be installed.

I can get everything else around it to build. makwin.cmd x86 builds just fine, I can build the entire MSIX Core solution, but I can't figure out what is causing the issue with the linker when compiling the statically linked dll.

Start with the README prerequisites and the makewin.cmd entry point, comparing the successful makewin.cmd x86 build with makewin.cmd x86 -mt. Review the reported MSVC linker output and the static-link configuration; done means the statically linked msix.dll builds successfully on Windows.
