Summary: Building python 2.5 for AMD64 (windows) and VS2005

Initial Comment:
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>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 ?

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

As I tried to build with MVS2005, I used the sln file in the PCBuild8
directory

In what directory? PCbuild or PCbuild8?

What do you mean by PCBuild8 build setup ??
I only see the files that are necessary to the build in the directory.

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.

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.

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

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