[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The latest 24.3 release won't compile on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 sp1
compiler (comes with windows sdk 7.1). There are two problems:

1. nmake.defs has a syntax error on line 119: `!if' should be `!ifdef'

2. GC_MARK_STACK is 1 by default in config.nt, but this default is broken
with the msvc toolchain.  When temacs started to dump,
it immediately exited with the message `Invalid function: "DEAD"'. Eli had
previously told me (in #12878) to see bug #13070, but it didn't solve the
problem. When I tried to change GC_MARK_STACK to 0, Emacs compiled fine. So
there must be something wrong about the GCPROS_NOOPS way of marking stack
under the vc compiler, maybe someone familiar with the garbage collector
can fix it. (MinGW gcc is ok with the default)
