It turned out that this is yet another case of VC++ (and accompanying 
utilities) not being 'I18N-proof'. By switching my 'ANSI' locale to 
English(US) from Korean, I was able to solve the problem.

  Perhaps, we need to mention this issue in the Windows build page:

When coming across an inexplicable error from VC++, linker, and other 
utilties, try to switch 'ANSI' locale to English.
