I'm also on Vista (although with a different Perl).  The error pattern 
looks half-familiar.

Does the attached patch (MingW32.Vista.patch) work for you, Jonathan?

[Note: I don't think this is clean enough to apply to trunk.  I can 
write a revised one for trunk on request, although it'll probably come 
no earlier than June 1st.

llvm-config.in.in
* abspath is standard only with Perl 5.6 and higher.  The mainline idiom 
also works with Perl 5.005.  A proper patch for trunk would support both.
* I wasn't able to get the pwd autodetection working at all, so it is 
*cough* hard-coded *cough* for MingW32.  That shouldn't be in a patch 
for trunk at all.

GenLibDeps.pl
* A patch for trunk would try the mainline implementation first, then 
failover to using Perl to emulate the non-working pipe series.]
