When I try to link against msvcr80 I get:

umask_test.rb:4:in `initialize': LoadLibrary() function failed for
'msvcr80': A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
(Win32::API::Error)
        from umask_test.rb:4:in `new'
        from umask_test.rb:4

The first line of a build shows the options being used:

        cl -W3 -nologo -MD  -O2b2xty-  -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -I. -I./
missing  -D_CRT_SECURE_NO
_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -c -Tcarray.c

Do I need to use a different build switch?

The download link you mentioned suggests that I only need that patch
if I don't already have Visual C++ installed. But, I do have it
installed.

I'm afraid that even after reading the first article I'm still not
sure what I'm supposed to do to make this work properly.
