in thread 64bit compiler from MS

With the Platform SDK, I run [...] /XP64 /RETAIL

I think you mean /xp /x64 /retail

It defaults to /win7 /x64 /debug (for me). /win7 should be fine since it's for local use only, but, but /retail is a good idea.

(All options are listed by setenv /? from the aforementioned console.)

(I see you've fixed the bufferoverflowu.lib issue in the approved manner :-)

I hesitated, but creating a module that uses ExtUtils::FakeConfig to filter out the value felt like overkill :)

    /XP64 is a valid switch for the Platform SDK:
    /XP64 - target Windows XP 64
