The only build issues I've had relate to nmake.  It doesn't seem to be 
entirely compatible with make.  For example, the last time I tried to 
compile bdb or pl-ruby, it choked on the Makefile.

As far as running some of my extensions, sometimes I get random 
segfaults if I don't build with VC++ 6.  The most notorious one is 
win32-open3.

Note that Heesob had an interesting post that dealt with this issue, but 
now I can't find the dang thing.
