Just out of interest: out of the box Python.org distutils is
incompatible with recent versions of MinGW. If Python-xy distributes
MinGW (and it works) then they're either creating a special patched
MinGW set up or patching distutils. I don't want to install Python-xy
myself since it'll clobber my existing Python installation but could
you answer the following for me:

1) What gcc version did Python-xy install for you?

2) Does the distutils.cygwincompiler module it installs contain the
following lines (around about line 300) specifically with the
'-mno-cygwin' option?

         self.set_executables(compiler='gcc -mno-cygwin -O -Wall',
                              compiler_so='gcc -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall',
                              compiler_cxx='g++ -mno-cygwin -O -Wall',
                              linker_exe='gcc -mno-cygwin',
                              linker_so='%s -mno-cygwin %s %s'
