Comment (by johnmaddock):

 I'm still wary of this patch: disabling use of {{{__beginthreadex}}} will
 presumably cause your program to crash at runtime due to an incorrectly
 initialized std lib if you create any threads?  I still feel that someone
 with access to this MSVC build option needs to provide a proper patch that
 allows the thread lib tests to pass, otherwise we're just thrashing around
 in the dark breaking random stuff...
