I'm still not sure how to handle this case. But let me try to add dllimport to builtins when /MD is given.

I can reproduce the link error on Linux with https://github.com/atetubou/llvm-project/commit/974a75affd82fb891fe3c8ae953e283580ea26df and this PR also fixed that. So order of directory iteration seems the trigger of this issue.

I updated PR description, but I may not understand your intention correctly.
