abbrev-mode and with-wrapper-hook on Windows

abbrev-mode and with-wrapper-hook on Windows

[zwz]

I just found a weird problem about the abbrev-mode on Windows. After I enable 
abbrev-mode, I cannot enter any characters but digits and letters, saying 
that "expand-abbrev: Invalid function: with-wrapper-hook". This problem does 
not happen on Linux. 

I googled and found some answers, like "make bootstrap". But in fact, this 
does not work on Windows, since I did compile the latest GNU emacs by "make 
bootstrap" with MSYS+MinGW.

And I tried:
1. eval the function "expand-abbrev" (in abbrev.el) by C-x C-e; then the error 
message chaged as "with-wrapper-hook: Symbol's function definition is void: 
labels". In a new-started emacs, however, I can see that the function "labels" 
is defined in cl-macs.el. I have no idea what else happened when I hit C-x C-e.

2. add (load "abbrev") in ~/.emacs; this solves the problem. Now I can use 
abbrev-mode, but I do not like this workaround. I hope somebody can help me 
figure out why and how.

Here "latest" just means "GNU Emacs 23.1.90.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002)" :)
I pulled the *latest* one from bzr repository, and found it could not pass 
the "make bootstrap":
(after a list of very long compilation outputs)
oo-spd/i386/ctags.o:ctags.c:(.text+0x156e): undefined reference to 
`_imp__re_set_syntax'
oo-spd/i386/ctags.o:ctags.c:(.text+0x1592): undefined reference to 
`_imp__re_compile_pattern'
oo-spd/i386/ctags.o:ctags.c:(.text+0x162b): undefined reference to 
`_imp__re_set_syntax'
oo-spd/i386/ctags.o:ctags.c:(.text+0x1ded): undefined reference to 
`_imp__re_match'
oo-spd/i386/ctags.o:ctags.c:(.text+0x6ff0): undefined reference to 
`_imp__re_search'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Has anyone got a solution?

Yes: you have an incompatible regex.h somewhere in your include
directories.

Thanks, now I am using GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002)!
And everything works just fine.
