I can't build using cmd.exe, "make bootstrap" ends with

 make[2]: Entering directory `C:/eclean/bld/emacs/admin/unidata'
 "../../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe" -Q --multibyte -batch -f

 bootstrap-080208.tmp

So I tried with msys instead from the nt subdirectory. "make bootstrap" 
goes much further, but it now ends with
