Can't build on Windows

[Austin Seipp]

(Resending to list properly)

Hrm, I can't see anything off hand in the past few weeks that would
have caused this at a glance.

Can you try bisecting it perhaps? You can probably do something like:

$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad
$ git bisect good dcc342870b4d8a739ccbed3ae26e84dcc3579914
$ git bisect run ./validate

This will probably take a while, though.

The commit 'dcc342870b4d8a739ccbed3ae26e84dcc3579914' was chosen
randomly, however. Any idea when this started happening? If it's the
past few weeks, the above might work
