There is a macro V8_LIBC_MSVCRT. Does it imply Windows build of V8 always depends on MSVC LIBC? How about building via Clang on Windows?

Clang still links against the MS CRT. If you were thinking of MinGW:
that's not supported.

What does it mean for not supported? Cannot build V8 with MinGW on Windows?
