The makefiles for the Windows build specify /Zp1, to request 1-byte packing (basically no alignment). This is not compatible with any Windows SDKs, as the headers there require default packing rules. xsPlatform.h includes winsock2.h, which requires the Windows SDK headers.
This error looks like this from the build:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\um\winnt.h(2487): error C2118: negative subscript
because it's a C assert macro in winnt.h which fails in that way (the actual error is shown in the header in a comment).
I'm not sure whether 1-byte packing is required to build the tools, but I don't see the equivalent gcc option in the linux makefile rules (pack-struct), or even any packed attributes. Removing /Zp1 from all makefiles makes the build succeed, not sure yet if it works.
