I found an old XP VM, and indeed it seems that the generated executables
depend on post-XP Windows version.

Binaries compiled with MinGW look alright though. However MinGW binaries
have problems of their own (e.g, I'm running into some weird gcc or
libstdc++ bug ).

It looks like the only way of getting this to work is to build binaries for
XP separately.  There is
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/10/08/10357555.aspx  but that
implies using older windows sdk, which means that D3D11.1 would be lost.

I'm afraid I don't see an easy way here.  According to wikipedia extended
support for XP will end on April 2014.  Is it still relevant?
