The problem is that the build fails.  There's no error message 
explaining the failure, just "Makefile:785: recipe for target 
`bootstrap-emacs.exe' failed".  But the build succeeds if I remove the 
attempt to compile Windows resources:

I know nothing about Windows resources, so I have no idea what's causing 
the build failure.
