bug#45303: #45303 [feature/native-comp] building error on Windows

[Pal Gloss <pcfeb0009@gmx.com>]

Hi,

thank you for the quick fixes

I do not understand 3b53a591faed03679382a601b93da7fe6ce3b4af: the way I saw the problem is that directory-files now takes an optional COUNT parameter (see thread starting with https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-10/msg00691.htmlhttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-10/msg00691.htm) so that the compiler rightly warned that we passed a function expecting 5 parameters to internal_condition_case_4 that works with a pointer to a function with 4 arguments.  I did not see any special warning anymore and haven't seen it crash yet, so the change is probably OK.

I just checked and these %emacs_dir% are also present in a "normal" emacs 27.1 (installed via msys2/mingw pacman, not self-built).

It was not only zlib that was missing, but also gccjit (my hack sets both: LIBGCCJIT = -lz -lgccjit)

I was not able to build libgccjit before, but now it is in MSYS2/MINGW pacman, I can build from time to time.

Kind regards,

For reference, here are the commands I used for my latest build

#+begin_src shell :exports code
  git rev-parse HEAD feature/native-comp ; gcc --version

* Linker errors
There are 2 linker errors that prevent advancing: zlib and libgccjit.
There is also an issue with strsignal which I will not care about just yet
