This is the error I get in a clean trunk checkout:

mingw32-make -w getopt_.h-CMD
mingw32-make[2]: Entering directory `D:/devel/emacs/emacs-bzr/trunk/lib'
getopt.in.h or ../arg-nonnull.h is newer than getopt_.h.
Run "gmake getopt_h" in the lib/ subdirectory.
You will need GNU Sed to be installed.
exit -1
mingw32-make[2]: *** [getopt_.h-CMD] Error -1

Well, following the instructions above, i.e. goint to lib/ and running 
mingw32-make getopt_.h. Manually as opposed to by a make rule.

Sure, but in order to generate it, you need Sed, right?

OK.
