List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:4849 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:4849 I've bootstrapped HEAD on Windows and on a RedHat 7.2, I've extracted the symbols from each (text between \x1F and \x0A), sorted the lists and compared them. There are 193 differences. I can see why there might be many differences between Windows and GNU|Unix. Different makefiles are used on those two systems. We have tried to make sure that DOC is the same on all Unix-like systems and regardless of options used. Someone just found a bug in that, but the fix was simple. Keeping DOC the same on these systems is worth doing. Making DOC be the same on Windows as on Unix-like systems is possible, but it will be somewhat more work, and more costly in a way. Is it important to do this? Are there users that want to share the DOC file between Windows machines and GNU-like systems?
