Glenn fixed `recompile', but that does not help "make bootstrap", because the latter byte-compiles each .el file in a separate Emacs, it doesn't use `recompile'. > Just like using "*.el" (which is documented on Unix to skip hidden > files) is a better solution. When the w32 Emacs is built using a Unixy shell, the dot-files can be skipped as they are on Unix. But we also support building Emacs with the stock Windows shell, which knows nothing about dot-files.
