1111063 - Support XPCOMBinaryComponent with msvcrt=static

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Kent James (:rkent)]

In building binary extensions using the Mozilla build system, it is advantageous to link with xpcomglue_staticruntime to prevent dependencies on versions of the Windows runtime installed on a system. Recent build system changes have made that inaccessible.

Only builds were done, not tests, as this is a change to the build system in support of extensions, that has no impact on shipped code.
