Building fails with strawberry-perl-5.42.0.1-64bit

[zb226]

I've recently tried to build DBD::MariaDB with Strawberry perl 5.42.0.1 and got the following error:

C:/dev/strawberry-perl-5.42.0.1/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
dbdimp.o:dbdimp.c:(.text+0x885): undefined reference to `__imp___pioinfo'

Eventually I found a hackish solution and reported it to Perl::Dist::Strawberry. The folks there noted this problem is caused by Strawberry having moved from MSVCRT to UCRT since 5.40.x, which can cause issues with existing code.

Apparently the problem here is that __pioinfo is an "internal CRT global or value macro" which is "not intended for use by your code" according to Microsoft docs - and seems to be not exposed by UCRT. I'm afraid I can't be of any more help with this issue than to report it.
