Summary: Building python 2.5 for AMD64 (windows) and VS2005

Initial Comment:
When building pythoncore for AMD64 (WIndows) on VS2005, I get the following error : 

3>generate buildinfo
3>cl.exe -c -D_WIN32 -DUSE_DL_EXPORT -D_WINDOWS -DWIN32 -D_WINDLL -MD -MD /USECL:MS_OPTERON ..\Modules\getbuildinfo.c -Fogetbuildinfo.o -I..\Include -I..\PC

3>pythoncore - 1 error(s), 225 warning(s)

I already looked for the issue on google and on the ML archive (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-March/062753.html) but the workaround explained there (checking vsextcompiler) is specific for VC2003.

Has anyone solved this problem ?

Well, it sounds like he is trying to link modules compiled for different
machines.
/USECL or /USELINK aren't options for MSVC, so something fishy is going on
there.  I will try to reproduce when I get the chance

Kristjan, can you take a look? If not, please unassign.
