Issue with compiling php 5.2.8 on windows xp using VC6

HI
 I am trying to compile PHP 5.2.8 on windows and running into some issues. I was wondering, if some one can kindly point me as to what am I missing here. 

 I am running on Windows XP SP3, VC6 (SP5) and Windows 2003 Microsoft SDK (feb 2003 update)

- downloaded php dependent libaries from the below url and unpacked to say c:\release
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/VC6/x86/
- downloaded php-binary tools from 
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/

Now, when I try to compile PHP 5.2.8, using some thing like

cscript configure.js --with-php-build=.. --with-extra-includes=... --with-extra-libs=..

I run into the following error

.\ext\dom/xml_common.h(27) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'
.\ext\dom/xml_common.h(32) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'php_libxml_ref_obj'

Here is a snippet of configure.js output (say first 100 lines..)
