Hi Marc
On my part, feel free to give it a shot. To be honest personally I don't really know enough about UCRT to judge the consequences.
Regarding mingw32, I think the discussion came up some time ago when I proposed changing the mingw32 exception model to be able to build rust. If memory serves me right, there were still some use-cases for mingw32, perhaps mingw-gecko/wine? Michael can you add more maybe?
Thanks Sandro

Hi Sandro & list,
UCRT seems to be the recommended C runtime for a bit more than 2 years now. It solves issues with utf8, C standard, interop with MSVC etc.
Do we have plans to start adding that target? Apparently we would need a new target prefix ucrt64-, and compile crt/headers --with-default-msvcrt=ucrt64 etc. I could eventually give it a shot.
Regarding long-term plans, should we plan to drop 32 bit targets? it's a niche nowadays.
thanks
