Great.  So my changes to makefile.w32-in work?  The mind boggles!

Hmm... I'm really curious why that's needed.  I rarely bootstrap my
usual Emacs, but I bootstrap the lexbind branch pretty often (using
some underused old 16-core Athlon X2 machine, it's barely 3mins to
bootstrap, less than a minute and a half to recompile all the files) for
benchmarking purposes.  So under GNU/Linux it bootstraps fine, and the
loaddefs.el should not be affected much by platform differences, AFAICT.

I just noticed that, contrary to my belief, the lexbind branch does have
changes in ldefs-boot (so I'll get conflicts at the next merge that
changes ldefs-boot).  Could you try

   bzr revert -r ancestor:../trunk lisp/ldefs-boot.el

or copy the trunk's ldefs-boot.el to see if that fixes the problem?
(both the trunk's and the current lexbind version work fine for me under
GNU/Linux).

I guess the patch below will fix those problem.
