[racket] Cross-compilation

DecodePointer() is in XP SP2 and up, which explain why it works on my
XP SP2 machine.

When I compile my own binary with VS 2008, there's no use of
DecodePointer(), though. There's no direct use of DecodePointer() in
Racket.

Eli: Does the build use VS 2010? Is some security feature enabled that
might inject uses of DecodePointer() into the code?
