That would be version 15.something-or-other.

Ideally, the Makefile would be tweaked so that the flag is omitted for compilers such as yours.

The mod I posted already did that.

Still no closer to understanding why your compiler builds a troublesome miniperl..

I'm not sure if you saw it, but I got this far. But once I realised that I had the newly built full perl executable available for modifying wperl.exe, and that worked, I didn't look any further for the miniperl.exe problem.

I'll try and work up a Makefile patch later.
