bug#11952: can't compile latest emacs from git repo (msys)

Hi.

$ uname -a
MINGW32_NT-6.1 COMPUTER 1.0.17(0.48/3/2) 2011-04-24 23:39 i686 Msys

.. while make bootstrap:

==
In toplevel form:
quail/indian.el:59:1:Error: Invalid read syntax: "?"
make[2]: *** [quail/indian.elc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/Administrator/emacs/leim'
make[1]: *** [all-other-dirs-gmake] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Administrator/emacs/nt'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
==

Here is an UTF-8 (?) characters at this position in the indian.el file.
What should I fix to compile emacs?

Can you compile indian.el by hand, from the shell prompt?  If so, just
say "make compile" afterwards.

That's an indication that the file could not be properly decoded.
You'll have to find out why.

Yes, when I (successfully) compiled the file in emacs
(byte-compile-file), I can continue "make bootstrap" after..

In which Emacs was that? in the same one that was generated as part of
the bootstrap, or in another one?

The problem I described in my original post was with latest source code
from git repo + MinGW.
I successfully compiled the .el file using precompiled emacs win32 from
this archive:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-24.1-bin-i386.zip

And if you try the same with emacs.exe generated as part of the
bootstrap?

Just tried with my fresh compiled emacs.exe: the file compiled successfully.

If anyone like the idea, I can setup windows + mingw in VMware so you
can test it on your side...

So is this problem resolved now?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
