I veryfied emacs-21.2.95 this with the latest cygwin release and I
could reproduce this on my system too. I was able to compile emacs too
with the latest cygwin 'gcc version 2.95.3-10 (cygwin special)', but
the problem still exists: cl pops up a "Abort, Retry or Ignore"
Dialog.
Compiler | State
----------------------------------+-----------------
gcc 2.95.3-10 (cygwin special) | fails with cl.el
gcc 3.2 20020927 (prerelease) | fails with cl.el
gcc 2.95.3-6 (mingw special) | okay
msvc | okay
With the emacs head version I get by executing the "M-: (require 'cl)"
lisp function the following backtrace:
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ". in wrong context")
| cl-random-time()
| byte-code("...")
| require(cl)
| eval((require (quote cl)))
| eval-expression((require (quote cl)) nil)
| * call-interactively(eval-expression)
`----
I am cc'ing this too to the cygwin mailing list, maybe someone has an
idea what the problem caused.
