I get failures in the testsuite, both on linux and windows. Does it go through for you?
Regarding Windows, I fixed a couple bugs yesterday in debug_fd_stat which caused file_stat etc to fail spectacularly on most non-local filesystems. I wonder how it has worked earlier..
After that it gets through. My compilation environment provides the following:

Is this good enough? Is there something that can/should be improved?
As for the testsuite on windows, things aren't that good. Besides the errors I also get on linux:
1. The socket and sendfile tests fail randomly with errors like
This file does not support nonblocking operation. -:1: Fd(10)->set_nonblocking() -:1: Stdio.File("conftest.dst", "cwt", 666 /* fd=10 */)->set_nonblocking() l:/mast-home/Pike/stable/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:1442: Stdio.File("conftest.dst", "cwt", 666 /* fd=10 */)->set_nonblocking(0,0,0,UNDEFINED,UNDEFINED) l:/mast-home/Pike/stable/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:3041: Stdio.Sendfile()->writer_done() l:/mast-home/Pike/stable/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:2930: Stdio.Sendfile()->reader_done() l:/mast-home/Pike/stable/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:2946: Stdio.Sendfile()->close_cb(0) -:1: Pike.Backend(0)->`()(3600.0)
2. Stdio.File.pipe tend to return zero in random tests.
3. Process.create_process randomly fails to spawn sub-pikes in tests.
4. Tools.Standalone.forkd doesn't compile due to missing Process.ForkdDecoder, and that causes some tests to fail. Would there be a problem if this is fixed by a this_program_does_not_exist stanza in forkd.pike?
Unfortunately I can't promise any significant time tracking those random errors down right now. :\
