Either that (although I forgot the library name - google knows it),
or a command line option missing: there is an option to suppress
usage of these security check symbols. It appears that VS 2005
has them disabled by default, whereas the SDK compilers have
enabled them by default. I think Python should not link with these
libraries, but disable the feature instead.

It should run on any AMD64 processor, including Intel processors with
EM64T.
