Building lxml for Python 27

Hi Guys,

I am trying to build lxml for Python 27 on windows 64 bit machine. I couldn't find lxml egg for Python27 version. So I am compiling it from sources. I am following instructions on this site

http://codespeak.net/lxml/build.html

under static linking section. I am getting error
