OK.

I expected as much, since nobody else complained about this error.
AFAIK the syswow64 directory is not in my %PATH%.

Unfortunately the "OPT=-vut" does not work (no output whatsoever) when
this package is built, so no way to determine where it searches (and
does not find: the errormessage is wrong w.r.t. that) and fails for
32-bit, not where it finds and succeeds for 64-bit and arm-wince.
