Try putting 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/runtime/CMakeLists.txt#L319 
in an "if(NOT MSVC)" block. If it does the trick, please submit 
it as a pull request (can't test on Windows/MSVC right now).

Not building the C parts of the debug runtime in release mode 
will only decrease performance of debug builds of code that uses 
e.g. the built-in zlib copy (std.zlib, std.zip).
