Hi,

I have been trying to compile Emacs Pretest 23.1.92 on Windows 7 
(cygwin, MinGW, GnuWin32) but haven't had any luck.

I run

configure.bat --no-debug --with-gcc --without-png -cflags 
-IC:\Progra~2\GnuWin32\include

then

make bootstrap

and everything runs fine until I get this error:

[...]

Any idea what is causing this?
