Thanks for checking. I've also been poking at this, without success.

What we could do is just not activate the limited API on Windows
(actually MSVC, since it works on MinGW). If someone later finds a way
to make it work on Windows/MSVC, then it's easy to change.

So here is an updated patch set with that change. It should pass cfbot
like this.
