Boostrapping Emacs on Cygwin, one often has "Fatal error
(6)make[1]:..." not only at the end, when installing, with "blessmail",
but also when it starts to compile "el" files or after it has rebuilt the
final version of "emacs.exe".

Theste errors happen at random, without an evident logic.

Usually, changing the build directory (increasing the nested level) solve
the thing (same Emacs CVS source).

So correcting the Makefile left some doubts (but I can err).

Obviously, the bootstrap of the same CVS code on GNU/Linux Kubuntu does
not give any problem.


Cheers,

   Angelo.
