That seems harmless. What's the actual failure?

make install is not creating a bin directory and copying the binaries to
it.

How did you build it?

I've built with

  cd nt
  configure --no-opt  ; plus -I, etc.
  make all
  make install

and everything's OK.  That's on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, using gcc (GCC)
3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)

That's... interesting.

I don't see any changes since 23.2.94 that seem likely to cause a
regression.  The only build-related change was the change to Makefile.in
in 100490, which should not even have any effect on Windows.  I recall
that 23.2.94 built with no problems, is that right?

(BTW, if there really is a problem that we have to fix in the sources,
don't apply the fix and make the Windows binaries rightaway; we'd need
to make another release candidate, so wait for that.)

Thanks, Juanma.  I will try again.

Yep.  So it surprised me.

    (BTW, if there really is a problem that we have to fix in the sources,

Like I told Juanma, I'll try building afresh and report back.

And did, but with make all and everything went fine.

It built fine for me, FWIW.

Do you also use `make all'?

No, just "make" followed by "make install INSTALL_DIR=d:/foo/bar".

Thank you.  Today I'm out to prove how limited I am.

Sorry for all the noise.
