Which command exactly did you run to have that error ? Normally, the code in msvc9compiler should not be called if you call the setup.py with the mingw compiler as expected by distutils

I'm running numpy-vendor which is running wine inside ubuntu inside a vm. The relevant commands are

        run("rm -rf ../local")
        run("paver sdist")
        run("python setup.py install --prefix ../local")
        run("paver pdf")
        run("paver bdist_superpack -p 3.4")
        run("paver bdist_superpack -p 3.3")
        run("paver bdist_superpack -p 2.7")
        run("paver write_release_and_log")
        run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 2.7")
        run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 3.3")
        run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 3.4")

Which don't look suspicious. I think we may have changed something in numpy/distutils, possibly as part of https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6152
