cmake v2.8.10.2 fails on windows xp service pack 3

[Patrick von Reth]

Actually cmake v2.8.10.2 is a patched Version an should work, but it
was build with mingw and not tested on Windows xp.

I'm not sure if the patch is in emerge but you could try to
build "emerge cmake-pkg" and make sure the patch from 2.8.9 is applied.

Cheers Patrick

oh, indeed, I remembered it wrong. Now I see, I had locally cherry-picked that
back in.

Not sure if this relates at all, but on my (virtual) machine, the kdelibs
build was going extremely slow. I found that if I set "EMERGE_MAKE_PROGRAM" to
mingw32-make instead of jom, it came back to speed. I wrote it off to some
obscure multi-core issue in virtualbox, but conceivably it had an entirely
different cause.

In either way, when the logs don't tell you anything: CD to the build
directory (assuming it has been created), and run mingw32-make, manually,
there. (I tried to document some debugging tricks I discovered by trial and
error, here:
