Sorry, I just realised you said you were using the binary-only distro.
In 8.0 through 8.2, we built with Mingw and bundled mingw libraries
with the installer and binary-only distros. In addition, the installer
had the Microsoft compatible libraries, but they weren't included in
the binary-only package.
From 8.3, the entire server is built with VC++. We ship the Microsoft
compatible libraries in both the binary-only and installer distros. We
do not ship any mingw libraries any more.
