`windows/file-system-at.cc` calls `NtCreateFile` and `RtlNtStatusToDosError`, which live in `ntdll`, but nothing asked for that library. It only happened to link anyway with the GCC from Nixpkgs, because that one was configured with `--enable-threads=mcf`, whose spec appends `-lmcfgthread -lkernel32 -lntdll` for the sake of mcfgthreads. A toolchain that does not do that fails with undefined references to both symbols. Now we make sure to link it, and put it in the *.pc files. This follows the precedent set with `ws2_32`. Assisted-By: Claude Code (Claude Opus 5) (cherry picked from commit 4b247ec)
