I do things like

python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 bdistwininst which seem to work for me. Is that any help?

Possibly. I'll have to try it next time I have the problem and see.

BTW, does that do anything different from

python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
python setup.py bdist_wininst

? If so, that's rather unintuitive and could do with documenting more clearly.
