What steps will reproduce the bug?

I'm trying to build node into a static library and link it to a project with CMake.

1. Build node from https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v17.x-staging with flags --fully-static & --enable-static. I used MS Build Tools 2019.
2. Build the embedding example with options:

• Compiler flags: MT
• Definitions: DV8_COMPRESS_POINTERS, D_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=0
• Includes: v8, node, uv
• Linking: v8_monolith.lib (v 9.9-lkgr), node.lib (v17.x-staging), dbghelp.lib, Winmm.lib
• Link options: /ignore:4099

3. Build with CMake with no issue! Put a copy of node.exe generated during the build at the output directory and run it test.exe console.log(42).
4. Crashes with exit code -1073741819 [hex C0000005]

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

No response

What is the expected behavior?

The program would not crash and 42 gets outputted to the console.

What do you see instead?

• Program silently crashes with exit code -1073741819 [hex C0000005] (access violation).
• It doesn't make it to the error handling after node::InitializeNodeWithArgs.

Using the debugger, I found that it crashes at

int exit_code = node::InitializeNodeWithArgs(&args, &exec_args, &errors);

with Exception 0xc0000005 encountered at address 0x51dfefe: User-mode data execution prevention (DEP) violation at location 0x051dfefe
-858993460 also got stored in exit_code variable

Did I build node wrong? If so, how do I build it into a .lib correctly?

I've converted this to a discussion because this is likely not a bug in node.js itself.
