Re: w32 port: SVG Path Commands' has no Up field (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).

[Keith David Bershatsky <esq@lawlist.com>]

Thank you, Noam, for looking into this particular issue.  If I were to make an UNeducated guess based upon a word search for "svg", then I would guess that the following commit may be potential cause:

https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/d6bc55ae2dc98c83e58a28e380ce4bcf2ed00bb3

I have built 0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7 twice today and had the same error as described in the opening post to this particular thread.

I have no problems building ac57c5093829ee09084c562bbbc1c412179be13d from the preceding day.  That works just fine.

Thanks for spotting the duplicate "--without-makinfo" command line build option.  I will revise my cheat-sheet to omit one of them.

Because I have been able to successfully build Emacs for several years using this same Windows XP SP3 virtual machine with an outdated timestamp, I believe that it may only be a contributing factor to the error in this thread, rather than the root cause.  I can certainly update the timestamp on the virtual machine and build Emacs a third time today using 0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7, but I would guess that I will have the same result in a failed build.
