I found the probable reason: it's this change:

    2006-04-12  Kenichi Handa  <address@hidden>

            * coding.c (setup_coding_system): Use system_eol_type for default
            coding->eol_type.

For now, undo this change, and the bootstrap will succeed.

Handa-san, could you please look into why this change breaks the
Windows port?  I suspect that it somehow causes the .elc files to be
written with EOL conversions \n -> \r\n, which corrupts the compiled
files.  But I don't see why: bytecomp.el binds coding-system-for-write
to no-conversion, so it ought to work.  Is it possible that your
change affects no-conversion?
