The only platform where we'd need to bundle in a runtime is Windows I
believe. Here's what we do for SciPy:
https://github.com/MacPython/scipy-wheels/blob/72cb8ab580ed5ca1b95eb60243fef4284ccc52b0/LICENSE_win32.txt#L125
.

That is indeed a bit of a pain and hard to test, so if we can get away with
not doing that by adding `-nostdlib`, that sounds great.

Cheers,
Ralf
