Is there a library missing?

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.

BTW: When this eventually builds, will this run on an Athlon64, or does it need an Opteron processor?

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

Regards, Martin
