Sorry about multiple posts. Here is the update, The compilation error was due to having mxmlc.jar in CLASSPATH from SDK 3.4 while FLEX_HOME was pointing to SDK 3.4 installation. Once I went back to SDK 3.3, air installer created on Linux started working on Windows again.
I also created the dump of the configuration files(using -dump-config option) during the build on both Linux & Windows while (using SDK 3.4 on bothe Linux & Windows) & there was hardly any difference. Seems that there is some problem definitely.
