I built emacs pretest 24.3.93, .94 successfully on Windows 7 64 bit MSYS2 mingw32, but emacs-dynamic-module failed as above on the same MSYS2 tools. So I think the problem is in the emacs code, although it may be a change that encounters an MSYS bug. I'll try again with current emacs master. --=20 -- Stephe
