Research direction
Start by reviewing setup-ocaml pull request 794 and the failing Dune bootstrap command in boot/bootstrap.ml on Windows. Investigate how flexdll handles the unresolved swscanf and _vscwprintf symbols, then verify that the Dune custom runtime builds successfully in the reported OCaml and Windows environment.
