We looked at this a while ago. The multithreaded versions of the libraries are missing global variables and some functions that are used in Emacs. So you cannot just drop them in as replacements for libc.lib mscvrt.dll was slightly better than libcmt.dll in this respect. There are some changes required to s/ms-w32.h which I found but didn't check in, since I failed to get it working completely.
