A look into README.txt should help understanding the difference. 
In short: in order to be independent from the MS toolchain (and 
their restrictive license), we ship with MSVCRT import libs based 
on the MinGW-w64 lib definitions and use them, together with LLD 
as linker, by default. So these libs are kind of 
reverse-engineered and not the real deal. :)
