bug#62792: Emacs 29.0.90 build fails

[Tak Ota]

I am curious. What is the reason the next was added to w32.c?

#if _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0501
typedef struct
{
  DWORD nFont;
  COORD dwFontSize;
} CONSOLE_FONT_INFO;
#endif

This was not in the previous emacs source w32.c.

Thanks for the error message detail.  Unfortunately, I'm still not
able to reproduce this error.  I'm building the emacs-29 branch under
MINGW32, in case that might be it. (It has been several days since I
tried x32 build.)

Are you building from a git checkout or starting from the 29.0.90
source archive?

Can you share the output from running "uname -a" in the shell where
you are building?  Here's mine, for reference:

  MINGW64_NT-10.0-19043 Avalon 3.3.4-341.x86_64 2022-02-15 17:24 UTC x86_64 Msys

Finally, can you answer Eli's question below?

Thanks for reporting!
