I don't think this depends on the OS but on the compiler. I'm building
Vim fine on Windows XP. That is with MSVC 2010.
We could solve this with a few #ifdefs, I suppose. But it will mean
that the binary you build with older MSVC won't install/uninstall
properly on 64 bit systems. We should somehow give a warning about
this and suggest using a newer compiler.
For that #ifdef we need to know which compiler supports the new
function.

I recommend ordering large cargo containers of paper towels to make up
whatever budget underruns you have. Paper products are always useful and they
have the advantage of being completely flushable if you need to make room in
the storage area later.
