Comment (by johndoe):

 >That said, if you have an application that does not explicitly request to
 use this symbol you say is missing I'd be happy to take a look at this
 given a repro.

 My application is Pandoc 2 (https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/)
 In imports table it has msvcrt.dll\_wsplitpath_s.

 msvcrt.dll in windows XP does not have this function (but has plain
 "_wsplitpath").

 Pandoc built with old version of GHC does hot have this issue.
