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>Linking...

3>getbuildinfo.o : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'

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 ?

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

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

USECL and USELINK is easily resolved: that's an option of vsextcomp, used to build the "official" AMD64 and Itanium binaries with the 2003 build environment, vsextcomp, and the platform compilers. Apparently, when the VS 2005 projects were created, the AMD64 and Itanium targets weren't updated.

This suggest to me that the reporter is not using the PCBuild8 build setup to do this, since that should have all-new flags.  I will still try to repro, though.

What do you mean by PCBuild8 build setup ??
I only see the files that are necessary to the build in the directory.
msg31410 - (view) Author: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) * (Python committer) Date: 2007-03-03 12:05
In what directory? PCbuild or PCbuild8?
msg31411 - (view) Author: fred2k (fred2k) Date: 2007-03-03 12:08
As I tried to build with MVS2005, I used the sln file in the PCBuild8 directory

Ok, I will look into this when I get the oppertunity.  Possibly these .sln file or .vcproj have gotten contaminated with some strange options...

The new build directories for VS 2005 and VS 2008 work for AMD 64.
