I would happily use a newer compiler.  The file emacs/nt/INSTALL says
this:

   To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0, or
   later up to 7.0, and nmake

I didn't realize that I could use a version of VC++ newer than 6.0.  I
would be happy to abandon 6.0 for building Emacs on Windows.  Is VC++
7.0 the compiler that comes with Visual Studio 2003?

What compiler do the Emacs developers use to build on Windows?

Nope:

  w32.c(3823) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suffix on number'
  w32.c(3823) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'L'
  w32.c(3823) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
  w32.c(3824) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suffix on number'
  w32.c(3824) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'L'
  w32.c(3824) : error C2065: 'L' : undeclared identifier

Here's the relevant code with line numbers:

  3819	  if (global_memory_status_ex (&memstex))
  3820	#if 1
  3821	  {
  3822	    DWORD tot_hi = memstex.ullTotalPhys >> 32;
  3823	    DWORD tot_md = (memstex.ullTotalPhys & 0x00000000ffffffffLL) >> 10;
  3824	    DWORD tot_lo = memstex.ullTotalPhys % 1024LL;
  3825	    totphys = tot_hi * 4194304.0 + tot_md + tot_lo / 1024.0;
  3826	  }
  3827	#else
  3828	    totphys = (signed __int64)memstex.ullTotalPhys / 1024.0;
  3829	#endif
