Omigawd.

Ok, so he doesn't know what he's doing. I would stop reading right
there.

Now he's boasting his own incompetence as a system integrator, funny.

I don't understand that.

That is a real bummer, like most major libc upgrades are, and most
open source projects that are kind enough to feed these windows
whiners with binaries are between a rock and a hard place these
days (there are heaps of legacy code out there that need the open
source goodies compiled with VC6, and *this* legacy code also has
its whiners), but what does it have to do with Trac?
BTW, what prevented him from compiling everything using one of the
compilers?
