That's because, to this day, there's no coherent set of Windows ports
of GNU tools that is sufficiently free of bugs.

Maybe instead of distributing patched Emacs binaries, you could use
the energy to produce such a set of ports.  Then the job of building
Emacs would be so much easier.

Your suggestions are always seriously considered, but please don't
expect them to be always accepted.
