Dear Bastian and Ethan

Thanks for replies.

I rebooted PC and deleted the previous source tress and extract freshly.
And I tried to build again.

However, I cannot get successful results 
I tried on both gcc-5.3.0 and gcc-6.3.0 on64 bits, gcc-5.3.0 on 32 bit.

It seems that the issue depends on my local environments and is is not a bug.
Anyway I cannot provide windows binaries for 5.0.6 at the moment.
