I just had a chance to try this out. One problem: pyconfig.h is missing from the installation.
I copied over my pyconfig.h from Python 2.2, and was able to compile all my target extensions using the distutils 'mingw32' compiler selection.
This is now fixed with today's installer: http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python2.4.0.12421.msi It might be useful to try again.
I'm guessing that this is related to the coredumps. I probably need to update my cygwin installation. Note that one doesn't explicitly link the msvcrt40 with earlier Pythons, so finding out how to change it to the 71 version is going to be... interesting. Will let you know what I come up with.
I believe mingw has a default crt it links with, and you probably need to change that. Regards, Martin
