Building Emacs from a new MinGW environment

[Dani Moncayo <dmoncayo@gmail.com>]

Hi,

today, I've noticed that the MinGW developers have recently released a
new graphical installation & setup tool: mingw-get-setup.exe [1].

I've tried it, and I've easily set up a brand new MinGW (+MSYS)
development environment.

Then, I've tried to build Emacs from the new environment (with the same
script I use these days).  The autogen & configure steps go well, but
"make bootstrap" fails here:

gcc  -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I/c/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/dani/emacs/trunk/lib -I
../src -I/c/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/dani/emacs/trunk/src   -mtune=pentium4
 -DGLYPH_DEBU
G=1 -I/c/usr/include -DUSE_CRT_DLL=1 -I
/c/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/dani/emacs/trunk/nt/i
nc    -O0 -g3 -MT gettimeofday.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/gettimeofday.Tpo -c
-o gettimeofd
