Okay, I tried building the emacs-unicode-2 branch on W2K using both
MSVC and MinGW32. It fails in building leim. I therefore did a crude
work around by building leim from HEAD and copying it over
emacs-unicode and did a build (not bootstrap, just all). I tried
copying leim from HEAD on to unicode branch and do make bootstrap, it
fails!
 So, my deduction is that leim build in unicode branch fails atleast
for me. By the way, I am using always the latest from emacs
head/unicode branches.
Also, I am using 'cvs co emacs' and _not_ 'cvs co -kb emacs'. Can this
cause some problems by adding CRLF endings.... This should not happen
as it does not affect the CVS Head version of Emacs.
