Thanks, I have installed a workaround for this. > I question whether continued support of Windows cross-compilation is > advisable but that's not my call. I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. That we drop support for all but the most recent version of Windows, that we refuse to add new features to Emacs unless they are supported by all versions of Windows, or that we offer a separate download for every version of Windows with the appropriate features enabled? I don't think any of these is a very good solution for users compared with making the decision at runtime.
