I can reproduce that with the binary tarball you're using, but not
with the trunk, so it's likely some build issue.

Though I basically did

  bzr branch trunk build
  cd build
  cd nt
  configure --with-distfiles path/to/libXpm.dll
  make bootstrap
  make dist

so I have no idea what went wrong (though now I see I forgot the info
files, <sigh>).

I'm uploading a new binary tarball which should be available in a
short while and which doesn't seem to show the problem.

Got it.  Thanks, Juanma.
Yes, the reported problem is gone.
