With the above changes, "make" now completes its work successfully.  (good!)

I've also done a "make install", and it has been successful too, apparently.

I've done a quick test, and the newly built Emacs seems to work well.
The only strange thing I've noticed so far is that double-clicking on
"runemacs.exe" brings up the Emacs frame, but the text terminal is
also visible, exactly as if I were clicked on "emacs.exe" instead of
"runemacs.exe".
