Build with no issue here on Windows, except mod_authn_db and dmod_dbd.
In the change log:

I agree with Jesse:
2.2.0 should not go out the door until we can build mod_authn_db and
mod_dbd on windows.
It's pretty silly for anybody to suddenly wake up and declare some
random bug as a showstopper for 2.2. Nobody has cared enough about the
problem to fix it in the six months and four(?) 2.1.x alpha/beta
releases that mod_dbd has been in the tree. So it clearly isn't really
very critical to anybody, and isn't showstopper material.
According to:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/new_features_2_2.html
mod_dbd is explicitly mentioned as a new feature of 2.2
and, therefore, a compelling reason to upgrade. Either
we stop refering to mod_dbd as something special enough
to warrant special attention as a core enhancement or
we fix it so it *is* one.
That is a good point. Truth in advertising (as best as can be managed)
will only help -- and lack thereof only hurt...
