ah, you have disabled --enable-dbgutil altogether for MSVC?
that seems like throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater.

if the MSVC debug stuff is indeed too difficult, then just comment it
out, put in a comment that says FIXME, and re-enable the
--enable-dbgutil stuff, that way windows devs at last get some
assertions and internal consistency checks.
