Compiling with just a compiler binary in your may work, but that is not a supported configuration for general use (a.o. reasons, because of the problem you have right now). Please always start from a *full* installation of the latest official release before reporting build problems. In 99.9% of the cases it solves all problems.

This can happen with a fresh svn checkout depending on the order in which files are downloaded and how much time passes in the mean time.

Same error...

I'm getting a fresh /fixes_2_4 to try to compile with the same script
and tools in /branches
/fixes_2_4/install/binw32...
If it works, I will do the same with /trunk...
If it works... well, IMHO, something is wrong in /branches/fixes_2_6
