Windows issue with negative decimals

[WillAyd]

Not sure if this is a nanoarrow issue or with the PyArrow export, but figured I'd start here.

When consuming an array like this:

    schema = pa.schema([("col", pa.decimal128(38, 10))])
    tbl = pa.Table.from_arrays([
        pa.array(["1234567890.123456789", "-99876543210.987654321",])
    ], schema=schema)

and using ArrowDecimalAppendDigitsToBuffer in nanoarrow, it seems like negative values on windows only are not properly represented.

I created an "MRE" for this in this library:

You can see the issue for Windows in CI logs:

Thank you for the report and excellent example! I'll will take a look at this today or tomorrow.

Thanks @paleolimbot . To my surprise, I think this issue goes away when I use meson as the build system?

So may be something in the flags between CMake / Meson that causes this

If it helps, here is the verbose log for a CMake build:

Versus the same thing in Meson:
