I don't believe we should be recommending ucrt64 for windows. We have two
testing jobs, one cross compiled from Mingw Fedora, and one native under
Msys2, both of which are validating mingw64. We have no ucrt64 testing.
IIUC, Stefan's QEMU installer binaries are also mingw32/mingw64 based,
not ucrt64.

With regards,
Daniel
