Well, let's look at my changes.

1. Building both <link>static and <link>shared. I think this is just right.
2. Building without <runtime-debugging>on. It looks like V1 does not request
this variant, right?
3. I've also removed the <runtime-link>static / <runtime-link>shared. In
retrospect, I'm not sure why it caused problem -- the static runtime should
have being just ignored. I'll look again.
