Comment (by Phyx-):

 The specs file is fine:

 {{{
 $ ghc -optl-specs=msvcrt100.specs test.hs -fforce-recomp
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o )
 Linking test.exe ...
 }}}

 and checking

 {{{
 > dumpbin /imports test.exe | findstr msvcrt*
     msvcr100.dll
     msvcrt.dll
 }}}

 You will need to change as I mentioned before `lib\package.conf.d\` the
 `base-*.conf` and the `ghc-prim-*.conf` files changing the extra-libraries
 part. To get rid of the remaining references to `msvcrt.dll`.

 I see you're replacing the default spec file, but the new one is quite
 small, so Id'd try just passing it to the compiler as an argument.
