Basically every natively compiled language except C compiles all the same-language libraries into the binary

Swift takes dynamic linking seriously and it's been a huge pain in the rear end because we have to work around all the lovely ways that PE, ELF, and Mach-O are different.

Like if you flip a switch to just build everything for static linking, the Windows port pretty much just works, but if you use dynamic linking it's just an unending horror show of "gently caress I guess we can't emit code that way on Windows".
