But this doesn't explain why executable shouldn't be linked with libcmt.  As
makefile.nmake sets the compiler flag /MT this implies that the executable
should be linked with libcmt.

>From MSDN compiler options:

/MT Multithreaded  Defines _MT so that multithread-specific versions of the
run-time routines are selected from the standard header (.H) files. This
option also causes the compiler to place the library name LIBCMT.LIB into
the .OBJ file so that the linker will use LIBCMT.LIB to resolve external
symbols. Either /MT or /MD (or their debug equivalents /MTd or /MDd) is
required to create multithreaded programs.
