Summary: Build fails on XP

Initial Comment:
When trying to build the source:

Modules/posixmodule.c fails to build.

I'm running on XP SP1 using 
mingw32-make ver 3.80

Is there any known issues on XP?

Still, happens. In the end I just compiled the source using 
VC6, so it doesn't really matter for me anymore though. 

It might be that I just don't have the MinGW environment 
setup right...

Is this still happening with 2.3.5 or 2.4.1?

Sorry, crash is not the right word.
I've attached the output from make.

Let me know if that helps or if you need other info.

What exactly does "it crashes" mean? Do you get a blue
screen? Is your hard disk making a crashing sound?

When I run make it crashes when it gets to 
Modules/posixmodule.c.
This is compiling with the Ming / (Cygwin?) compiler though.

I have recently tried with MSVC 6 which builds without any 
problems.

In what way precisely does it fail?

It builds fine for me with VC.NET 2003, which is the
official build environment for Python on XP.
