Now Emacs trunk build OB... :)
Although this should fix the bootstrap failure, I expect that this reintroduces a bug into Cygwin Emacs, namely, Emacs can sometimes lose track of subprocesses and/or kill off unrelated processes; see Bug#12980 and Bug#8855.
In more than six months, only one or two times Emacs, from trunk, closed unexpectedly. Usually it is enough stable.
Fixing this will require someone with access to Cygwin and knowledge of how to debug threads under Cygwin, neither of which I have. Since the issue appears only under Cygwin it could well be a Cygwin bug rather than an Emacs or glib bug.
perhaps... Cygwin "Creators" can help... ;-) Ciao, Angelo.
