Sorry to hear that, but I cannot reproduce any of the failures on my
machine, it still bootstraps and builds for me, both with and without
"--jobs".

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I feel terribly stupid, because I cannot figure out what is the file
it doesn't find here.  It cannot be the oo-spd/i386 directory since it
was just created before the compilation command.  And it cannot be
addsection.c, because you are in the nt/ subdirectory, where
addsection.c lives.  Could you please try to find out what file is
missing?

I think I can understand this one; sounds like some bug in the MinGW
make and/or in its interaction with the Cygwin Bash.  Note the lone
backslash above and the leading blank in ` temacs'.

I made some changes to work around this; please resync and try again.
(Needless to say, it still bootstraps for me, at least without --jobs.
Will try with --jobs shortly.)
