As far as I recall there was nothing in the logs that indicated what the error was with the 32 bit word test. it just stopped at the line that said it was testing it. I have tried rebuilding again so the log was deleted. so I cant be 100% sure.

By running in safe mode and totally disabling Microsoft security essentials (as opposed to turning off realtime protection) I was once again able to get to the python check

That still fails.

So microsofts antivirus is the most likely culprit although some other service may be the cause.

I just need to track down why the python test fails


Damn! Spoke too soon. I tried running it again and it hung at creating config.status

The file appears to hang after partially writing config.status
the next line is
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1

It has to be an issue with msys/bin/sh.exe it must be failing at random times for random reasons like returning the wrong exit code from python

At that point configure quits

There should be an error message in the config.log that throws some light on why the determination failed. (You need to find out why it failed.)

Search the config.log for the string "checking how to define a 32-bit word" and read over the next few lines until you come to the actual error message.
