problems building kfw 2.6.5

[David Rosenstrauch]

Hi.  Having trouble trying to build the old kfw 2.6.5, and running into 
a few problems.  (I need to build against the older version since I need 
to build for VC6.)

First, several of the awk steps appear to be dying, throwing up a dialog 
box saying "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction".  (The 
awk I'm using is from cygwin; appears to be gawk v3.1.6-1.)  If I click 
the "close" button on the dialogs, the build then continues on ...

... and dies again later:

My paths and tools look as follows:

Anyone have any idea what these problems might be and/or workarounds? 
Is it even still possible to build kfw2.6.5 against vc6 these days?

Thanks,
