Volodya,

That does indeed seem to do the trick.  Thank you!

I had wondered if it was a problem with my installed version of Python
(likely compiled with MSVC) and my usage of MinGW and GCC. (The installed
Python 2.5.4 is the binary installation from python.org.)  Using your
suggestion, however, it seems to be progressing nicely, and I get the
following final message:

EXIT STATUS: 0
====== END OUTPUT ======
**passed** bin\test_embed.test\gcc-mingw-3.4.5\debug\test_embed.test
...updated 47 targets...

I'll move on to attempt the complete build now.

-Kirk
