I see no windows-specific code in show_version(), so I am at
a loss to explain how this could go wrong.  

If a windows build does not correctly report its configuration,
that's a bug all by itself and should be fixed.  But yes, we would
need to to solve that problem first.

show.c: #include "alloc.h"
alloc.h: #include "syscfg.h"
syscfg.h: #include "config.h"

How can this fail?  (and how can the build succeed if it does?)
