[New-bugs-announce] [issue32282] When using a Windows XP compatible toolset, `socketmodule.c` fails to build

[Maxime Belanger]

New submission from Maxime Belanger <max at dropbox.com>:

If Python is built using the Windows XP "variant" of the toolset (e.g. `v140_xp`), build errors can occur in `socketmodule.c`. This is due to the include of `VersionHelpers.h` being gated on `_MSC_VER`, which "lies" if `v140_xp` is in use.

We'll be contributing our patch to this issue here.
