As the subject says, I've been unable to build the regex module against Python 3.5b1 for 32-bit. MingGW says:

skipping incompatible .../libpython35.a when searching for -lpython35 It builds without a problem against Python 3.5 for 64-bit. Any ideas? Should I just wait until beta 2?

MinGW is (and always has been) only marginally supported, unfortunately. I'd rather it didn't break totally for 3.5, but I am anticipating some difficulties (there have been a lot of compiler-related changes with 3.5).

Could you raise a bug, including details of precisely how you tried to build the module (presumably https://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex/2015.05.10) and assign it to me? I'll try to take a look and reproduce the issue. With luck, it may be as simple as the wrong version of libpython35.a being picked up somewhere.

Just to check the obvious - you are using 32-bit Python 3.5b1 and a 32-bit Mingw to build the 32-bit version, and 64-bit Python 3.5b1 and a 64-bit Mingw to build the 64-bit one? (I.e., two installations of Python and two of Mingw)
