Sorry, it was due a stupid mistake on my part: the modified
build_w32.bat script didn't compile main.c with -DHAVE_GUILE.

Now that I fixed that, the makefile does work, but I also get a Guile
backtrace:

  D:\gnu\make-3.82.90_CVS.guile>gnumake -f mkfguile
  Backtrace:

Any ideas are welcome, as all this backtrace says is that something
was evaluated and threw a misc-error.  Line 378 in eval.scm is this:

       (make-fixed-closure eval nreq body (capture-env env))

which again tells me nothing useful.

The latest, 2.0.3.

Well, it took me almost 2 weeks to get it to build on Windows and pass
most of the test suite.  So it's hard to say Guile as it is was ready
for Windows.  Most probably some bugs remain.

I will, if I get desperate.  Right now, it is enough for me to know
that the Guile build of Make works as well as Guile does ;-)  It means
I can commit my changes to the Windows configury.

Thanks.
