Why are you trying to compile it? Just get the binaries.
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/21.1/
Download the emacs-21.1-fullbin-i386.tar.gz. Double click it, say yes,
then unzip it somewhere, then double click the runemacs.exe found in the
$UNZIPDIR/bin/.
I double clicked and used winzip and it worked just peachy.
If I'm not supposed to tell you this about having used winzip and I'm
supposed to talk about djtarnt.exe, somebody will probably chime in.
