PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this platform

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the source code on a win2k platform but I've get
this error:

gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include
-I./src/include/port/win32 "-I../../../../src/include/port/win32"
-DBUILDING_DLL -c -o xlog.o xlog.c
In file included from ../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50,
from xlog.c:35:
../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h:543:2: #error PostgreSQL does
not have native spinlock support on this platform. To continue the
compilation, rerun configure using --disable-spinlocks. However,
performance will be poor. Please report this to pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org(dot)

My configuration is:

- Windows2000 WKS with SP3
- Snapshot of postgresql source on date 20040608
- MinGW32 3.1.0-1
- MSYS 1.0.10

and i've runned ./configure with the '--without-zlib' parameter.

I've searched for a similar question on the ml but I don't found.

If you need more specification, ask me.
