It's not a problem I can solve either, but I'm trying. Please try the
following:

Find the gcc specs file. If gcc.exe is %mingwpath%\bin\gcc.exe, and the
version is %mingwversion%, then the specs file should be
$mingwpath%\lib\gcc\%mingwversion%\specs . Change "-lmsvcrt" to
"-lmsvcrt71".

Now, edit scipy_distutils/mingw32ccompiler.py at around line 102 or so:

"""
        # no additional libraries needed
        self.dll_libraries=[]
        return
"""

to

"""
        # no additional libraries needed
        self.dll_libraries=['msvcrt71']
        return
"""
