It's sure to be a CW-vs-VisualC++ issue; the Python version for
Win32 is tuned for Microsoft Visual C++ and may sometimes take
some effort to adapt it to other C compilers for that platform.

I'm unfortunately unable to provide any CW-specific advice, but
it's likely you may need some tweaking in or around config.h...
