AIUI, README.W32 has information specific to the pre-built binaries provided on ftp.gnu.org. Eg it starts: This README file describes how to set up and run a precompiled version of GNU Emacs for Windows. This distribution can be found on the ftp.gnu.org server and its mirrors: So it's inappropriate to include it in the source tarfile because it contains information that is incorrect/irrelevant for people building from source. > README.W32 needs to be included in the > tarball for `mingw32-make dist' to work. But you're saying that you want to start from a source tarfile and make a binary tarfile? I don't know how to reconcile these two.
