Not sure if this is a bug
I think it is. It seems that the cross-build support in msvc9compiler
has been tested only in a build tree of Python (where there is no Libs
directory).
This minor patch seems to fix the problem for me (using a PCBuild folder
parallel to libs)
C:\Python\Lib\distutils\command>diff build_ext.py.orig build_ext.py

For released copies of Python, I could change that to distribute the
AMD64 pythonXY.lib in libs/amd64. [FWIW, I'm still puzzled why I ship
the import libraries of all the pyd files as well - I can't see a reason
other than tradition]. Then, distutils should change to look it up there.
.......
Just checked and all the pyd's seem only to export the xxx_init functions
(sometimes there are two in the pyd) so the .libs do seem a bit redundant.
