I guess you are talking about this buildbot:

   http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-native-mingw64-win7

If you click on one of the builds, for example

   http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-native-mingw64-win7/builds/14

you see that indeed it got an exception in the first step:

   get_builddir get_builddir exception ( 0 secs )
   stdio
   err.html
   err.text

If you click on the stdio link you get here

 
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-native-mingw64-win7/builds/14/steps/get_builddir/logs/stdio

If you scroll down to the end you will see

     raise NotImplementedError, "spawnProcess not available since pywin32 is not 
installed."

It seems you need to install pywin32.

Ciao, Duncan.
