Windows batch files cannot (easily) understand --option=value, so you
need to use "configure --prefix c:\programme\emacs-21.2". If you are
using sh.exe (I am not sure it works, only cmd.exe and Cygwin
bash.exe have been tested), then you will need to use forward slashes
and include the .bat extension I think.

It looks like you are using sh.exe. As I said, this is untested, so
maybe you should try starting from scratch using the native Windows
shell. If that does not work, Cygwin bash should (that is what I use
when building with gcc).

This is suspicious. Can you look at line 13963 of that file and see
what it says?

Unlikely. There were no Windows specific fixes in 21.3 that I know
of.
