Subject: [ruby-core:107765] [Ruby master Bug#18605] Fails to run on (newer) 32bit Windows with ucrt

Issue #18605 has been reported by lazka (Christoph Reiter).

----------------------------------------
Bug #18605: Fails to run on (newer) 32bit Windows with ucrt
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18605

* Author: lazka (Christoph Reiter)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
32bit ruby using ucrt has started to fail on newer Windows with "unexpected ucrtbase.dll" -> https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/3fb7d2cadc18472ec107b14234933b017a33c14d/win32/win32.c#L2591

The problem is that ruby depends on ucrt internals and those have apparently changed with newer versions.

See https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/10878 and https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/10896 for some background and a potential fix. But ideally ruby wouldn't depend on Windows internals like this.

thanks!
