Thank you for your report.

Is this a Cygwin build or a native Windows build?  That is, is the
resulting binary a Cygwin program or a native Windows programs?

If the latter, then using Cygwin Make is generally considered to not
work (see nt/INSTALL for details).

No, the default is okay for the case that you didn't change any
sources since the last build, and assuming that Emacs binary is
installed in-place in the `bin' subdirectory of the top-level Emacs
directory.  If you have emacs.exe in some other place, you need to
override the value of EMACS from the command line, for example:

   make recompile EMACS=../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe

In any case, there's no need to use temacs.exe to recompile Lisp
files, you can use emacs.exe in the src/oo-spd directory.
