I can't reproduce this error on GNU/Linux.

As the above is the last step of building, you already have
an executable emacs.  So could you please try this?

% cd d:/emacssrc/21.3/leim
% ../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe -q --no-site-file

and in the started emacs,

M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
ESC : (update-leim-list-file ".") RET
