missing sys0.ji when building with MinGW

[keesvp]

Did latest pull, make cleanall.
Windows 8, 64 bit.
followed all instructions, no spaces in paths, replaced make with make-old.
uname -a gives:
MINGW32_NT-6.2 KEES-FORIO 1.0.17(0.48/3/2) 2011-04-24 23:39 i686 Msys

Building stops with:
LINK usr/bin/julia-readline.exe
CC ui/repl-basic.o
LINK usr/bin/julia-basic.exe
osutils.jl
make[1]: *** [/d/projects/JuliaLang/julia/usr/bin/sys0.ji] Error 5
make: *** [release] Error 2

[keesvp]

We have been able to detect the point of failure in generating sys.ji by sysimg.jl.
It happens when including osutils.jl
at this macro:

macro windows_only(ex)
@windows? esc(ex) : nothing
end

A possible cause might be by @vtjnash f2b2844 .

can you reply with the contents of base/build_h.jl?

Please try again; this is almost certainly the same haswell bug because julia must be able to run to generate the image file.

[keesvp]

It works, I've got a build!

Awesome, thanks for the update!
