Comment(by kazu-yamamoto):

 Thank you for your effort.

 I have installed python 2.7 with pth. Unfortunately, "validate" stops when
 configuring the terminfo library:

 {{{

 }}}

 gcc47 is not inherited to terminfo. This is strange. Before DLL, these
 configuration options works fine to "validate".

 Note that "build" works fine with these configuration options.
