You do not need the compiled debugging helpers for neither Symbian
nor Windows/MinGW deverlopment. They have been replaced by Python
scripts that do not need compilation.

However, there's another problem:

The Symbian toolchain pretty much relies on everything being on the same
drive. There are some exception, but as a rule of thumb you should avoid
this kind of setup.

Try to re-install everything to the same drive.
