The console returns an error:

   make: *** No rule to make target 'install-strip'. Stop

But only on a certain machine, on the other I don't see this error.
Need to start from scratch with a new build tree, I think..

On a positive note, but mysteriously enough for me, I found in a package
archive - build with build-zips.sh - a native-lisp/ folder without my
ado (under 'lib/emacs/28.0.91/)!?  And I checked an Emacs from such a
build on an "MSYS Windows system" - with the Process Explorer - loading
.eln files. :-)

Unfortunately this build didn't work on another Windows computer.  It
seems that there are not yet all necessary dependencies in the distro
archive (for example libgmp-10.dll is missing).  I hope Corwin can bring
some light into the build system.
