Perl: load_file:Invalid access to memory location on Windows Server 2020/2022

I got this error on Windows Server 2020/2022 to load DLLs that is generated by ExtUtils::CBuilder.

Can't load dynamic_lib file "D:\a\SPVM\SPVM\SPVM-0.9665\blib\lib/SPVM/Format__precompile.xs.dll": load_file:Invalid access to memory location at D:\a\SPVM\SPVM\SPVM-0.9665\blib\lib/SPVM/Builder.pm line 262.

This is fixed in the latest ExtUtils::CBuilder.
