I've been running into the same problem with the latest updates. Even when I 
select the mswin32 version of fastthread it tries to compile, and fails. So, 
the first issue I'm encountering is that gem updates are trying to compile 
native versions when it should be installing precompiled extensions.

The second issue is the compile failures. I do have VC8 installed, which 
some research has suggested might be the problem here - I've seen comments 
to the effect that only VC6 or VC7 will work for gems. Can anybody confirm 
or deny this before I switch out my Visual Studio installation?

Thanks!
