Building Ruby-1.8.4 on WinXP with MSVC++ 8.0

Hi! I'm building Ruby-1.8.4 on WinXP SP2 using MSVC++ 8.0,
and first did the 'win32\configure.bat' and then typed nmake.
It makes a fair amount of progress until it gets to 'miniruby'
and then dies like so:

          cl -nologo main.obj dmydln.obj msvcr80-ruby18-static.lib oldnames.lib user32.lib advapi32.lib wsock32.lib -Feminiruby.exe -link -incremental:no -debug -opt:ref -opt:icf
rbconfig.rb updated
         .\miniruby.exe ./win32/mkexports.rb -output=msvcr80-ruby18.def msvcr80-ruby18-static.lib
../win32/mkexports.rb:6: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '.\miniruby.exe' : return code '0x3'
Stop.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

VC8 support is in progress now.

Yes. I've been a bit busy over the last couple of days and although I
took the computer that I am doing this on to work yesterday, I forgot
its network card :wink: so I couldn't really do anything with it. I will
be continuing to attempt this.

Worse, it appears that there's a problem with trying to build OpenSSL
0.9.7 or 0.9.8 with cl version 14 as well; mostly along the same
lines, but the latest patches for *that* cause different issues.
