It turns out this problem is not my fault actually. Here's how to
simulate it. Download
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-27/emacs-27.1-i686-no-deps.zip
(Why 27.1? It seems to affect 27 upwards.)
Unpack it. Run emacs -Q.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C:\sys\emacs-27-no-deps\emacs-27.1-x86_64\bin>emacs -Q
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
No problem.
Now create a directory called lib-src at the source of your GNU emacs
installation, then run emacs -Q. You'll get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C:\sys\emacs-27-no-deps\emacs-27.1-x86_64>mkdir lib-src
C:\sys\emacs-27-no-deps\emacs-27.1-x86_64>cd bin
C:\sys\emacs-27-no-deps\emacs-27.1-x86_64\bin>emacs -Q
Warning: Lisp directory
'c:/msys64/home/Administrator/emacs-build/git/emacs-27.1/lisp': No such file or
directory
C:\sys\emacs-27-no-deps\emacs-27.1-x86_64\bin>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
There is something in the emacs source code that is sensitive to the
existence of the directory lib-src.
