Just typing M-: (require 'cl) from within the Emacs session will bring up the problem. I would imagine this is more likely a problem with my Cygwin setup than an Emacs bug as I am sure that pretesting would have found this one very quickly! I used gcc 3.2.3(?) to build emacs from the source. I then tried using gcc 2.95 but that fails with a source code/compile error part way through the make, so I rebuilt with gcc 3.2.3 and tried again - same results. I don't have Microsft C++ so I can't build the binary using the other method and the pre-built binaries for 20.3 hasn't been produced as yet.
