Of course, if I make a separate branch for each OS, there should not
be any problem, but the question is whether I could compile Emacs on
both OSes using the same directory tree.

AFAIK, the build on MS-Windows is done entirely under the "nt/"
subdirectory which is specific to that platform.  If that is true,
there should be no problem is sharing the same directory tree for both
OSes.
