[New-bugs-announce] [issue7371] Windows 64-bit build "skips" several projects in VS 2008

[Sridhar Ratnakumar]

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridharr at activestate.com>:

1. Install Windows 64-bit (SP2)
2. Install Visual Studio 2008 Professional w/ 64-bit components
3. Download Python-2.6.4.tgz
4. Open PCbuild/pcbuild.sln
5. Select "Release" and "x64" in the configuration toolbar

One would notice that only the projects "make_buildinfo" and 
"make_versioninfo" are built (which too as Win32, not x64 - for unknown 
reason). All projects are *skipped*. I don't know why. 

64-bit build would work on a 32-bit Windows machine (cross-
compilation), but not a native 64-bit Windows machine?

Attached is the Visual Studio build log.
