On windows, you need to have a full debug-build stack -- i.e., you cannot mix a release-build of libc with a debug-build of krita. The app simply wouldn't start. And Microsoft in their license agreement for msvc explicitly forbids the redistribution of debug builds of their libc and libc++ equivalents.

It's a huge pain, and the reason for mozilla's breakpad thing, in fact.
