FWIW, I compile CVS Emacs on a bog-standard MingW distribution, with
no other packages from GnuWin32 or anywhere else, and using
mingw32-make.exe (renamed to make.exe). However, I have to make two
small changes by hand to lisp/makefile to get it to bootstrap
properly.

On line 500 (in autoloads):
! 			  $(DQUOTE)$(lisp)/loaddefs.el$(DQUOTE))$(ARGQUOTE) \
! 		-f batch-update-autoloads $(lisp) $(WINS)
-->
! 			  $(DQUOTE)loaddefs.el$(DQUOTE))$(ARGQUOTE) \
! 		-f batch-update-autoloads . $(WINS)

I mentioned this on the list before, but Eli said that the problem was
with MingW make. Ah well.
