On my setup, Emacs bootstraps fine. However, I don't think the patch is working.

IIUC, the purpose of this patch is to avoid generating autoloads for
preloaded files; but in my test this is not the case. For example,
ls-lisp's autoloads are still in lisp/loaddefs.el (ls-lisp is
preloaded on Windows, and it is listed in lisp2 via the WINNT_SUPPORT
macro). In fact, lisp/loaddefs.el is just 174 bytes shorter than in my
previous bootstrap, and that's because of recent changes to the
sources.

At least, "make -C lib-src echolisp > echolisp.tmp" is doing the right thing:

the make command used should either be customizable somehow (via
nt/configure.bat, I suppose), or at least documented. nt/INSTALL
mentions five likely names for the make utility: nmake (for MSVC),
make, mingw32-make, gnumake and gmake.
