No, Python 2.5 is linked with msvcr71.dll. ehn? i don't see that anywhere in any PC/* files - i do see that there's a dependency on .NET SDK 1.1 which uses msvcr71.dll Take a look at PCbuild/pythoncore.vcproj. It says Version="7.10" This is how you know VS 2003 was used to build Python 2.5, which in turn links in msvcr71.dll.

Luke, the python MSVC build assume equivalence between MSVC compiler and runtime, i.e. if compiler is version X the runtime is version Y. This is not try for GCC(mingw) build. This compiler is more flexible and allow build against different runtimes. But you know this - I already comment issue870382 in the patch.
