Nuitka: Windows+MSVC+scipy>=1.8.0 → segfault

Let’s consider sample program and nuitka call for compilation on Windows with MSVC: https://github.com/belonesox/bug-nuitka-scipy-180-crash

• pipenv-based setup-demo.bat for setup pipenv (pls, change your python location on set-python-path.bat).
• demo_build.bat for build
• trivial test.py

---

For linux — OK. For scipy <= 1.7.3 → OK

For scipy >=1.8.0RC1 → test.exe crashed on import scipy.stats or from scipy.stats import hmean.

Crash not depens:

• nuitka version (reproduced on all since 0.7.0, including factory, but factory got another fail → build.log, not tested before 0.7.0)
• Python version (reproduced on w32 python 3.8.10, w64 python 3.10.0)

---

Not tested — mingw GCC.

I can provide access for VM with Windows, if it helps…
