Ah, that's alright then, any compiler that produces bad / broken code for no obvious reason should be ditched as soon as possible tho, so not using the broken 64-bit one is definitely a good move.
5.3 isn't going to compile MAME forever tho, so the XP problem is probably going to come up again sooner rather than later I feel.
