When trying to build the source:

Modules/posixmodule.c fails to build.

I'm running on XP SP1 using 
mingw32-make ver 3.80

Is there any known issues on XP?

In what way precisely does it fail?

It builds fine for me with VC.NET 2003, which is the
official build environment for Python on XP.

When I run make it crashes when it gets to 
Modules/posixmodule.c.
This is compiling with the Ming / (Cygwin?) compiler though.

I have recently tried with MSVC 6 which builds without any 
problems.

What exactly does "it crashes" mean? Do you get a blue
screen? Is your hard disk making a crashing sound?

Sorry, crash is not the right word.
I've attached the output from make.

Let me know if that helps or if you need other info.

Is this still happening with 2.3.5 or 2.4.1?

Still, happens. In the end I just compiled the source using 
VC6, so it doesn't really matter for me anymore though. 

It might be that I just don't have the MinGW environment 
setup right...

The bug report is old and I haven't heard from problems with mingw
recently. Please open a new bug report if it still fails for 2.5 and newer.
