I see the same problem after bootstrapping r114487 for Windows (mingw)
from a clean checkout. The build log shows:

--[log]---------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling /c/emacs/src/emacs/trunk/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

In end of data:
../../lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el:1829:1:Warning: the function `cl--do-remf'
    might not be defined at runtime.
../../lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el:1829:1:Warning: the function `lm-homepage' is
    not known to be defined.
--[log]---------------------------------------------------------------

Using "runemacs.exe --debug-init", emacs shows a backtrace in my init
file at "(require 'package)". Adding "(require 'cl-lib)" before that
line works around the problem.

Full build log and backtrace available if needed.
