I don't think so. I think GCC doesn't give a fig for Microsoft and its manifest policies in the OS. I'm not really sure why the Python interfaces worked with MinGW, probably because there was no manifest at all, not even outside the binary. 

But I am sure why it did NOT work with MSVC.

Regards,
Mike
