Can you find out where msvcrt.lib comes from? If you manage to copy
the linker command line, I think link.exe has a way of telling you
where it picked up the file. If that won't work, and you find multiple
copies of msvcrt.lib on your disk, you can use dumpbin /all on
each of them to find out which one is right.
