This does list an example which I is not very similar to the case we have with
cc65.

I know that, but no one has explained to me how this should work.

Marko has already pointed this one out to me, but it's a very different case
for two reasons:
1. The VC runtime DLLs come with windows and can therefore be considered "part
of the operating system", so the exception in the GPL covers this.
2. The topic talks explicitly about dynamic linking which is not what we have
in case of cc65.
