  icomment:  Thank you for the detailed explanation.

             A few remarks:

             I64 is supported by mingw-w64 for many years now.

             On your explanation I think you are mentioning that the tcl/tk build
             sets __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 when it actually is =0.

             MSYS2/Mingw-packages wants to be a complete repository. We even have
             twapi now :-) Hence, compatibility with VS is a non-goal, although I
             understand why it is important for you as a policy.

             For these reasons we probably end overriding CFLAGS to remove
             __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=0 and be consistent with the rest of the
             MSYS2/Mingw-packages ecosystem. I mention this just in case it is
             relevant for future exchanges. It would be nice if we had an explicit
             knob (i.e. a configure option) instead of a blanket override, but for
             now CFLAGS= would do.

             Thank you again.
