No fix yet :-( Haven't had the time to dig into it properly, but I think
we can now safely say it's not a local issue in Joachims build env :-)
If you just run a dumpbin command (the same way) manually with a ">foo",
does it redirect it properly then? Or is dumpbin for some reason not
writing on stdout?
It runs perfectly on two completely separate build envs I have here :-O
Could someone who knows perl a bit more than me take a look at that
script (src/tools/msvc/gendef.pl) and see if I'm doing something really
stupid there? May be that I'm "homesick" when looking at the code and
can't spot obvious things...
Also, could it possibly be perl version dependent? I'm on ActiveState
5.8.7 build 815.
