bug#44285: 27.1; Invalid function: make-local-variable

[noosphere@mailc.net]

When trying to start emacs with "emacs --daemon" (with or without the
 -Q option, I immediately get an error:

  emacs: Invalid function: make-local-variable
  Error: server did not start correctly

No other information is shown, and adding a --debug-init option does not
yield any more information.

Starting emacs without the --daemon option works fine.

This emacs was installed on Windows 8.1 on Cygwin, using Cygwin's
"setup-x86_64.exe" tool, but I've also been able to reproduce
the issue under an Emacs I compiled from scratch myself under Cygwin.

Here is some information about the Cygwin Emacs I originally had the
 issue on:
