Regarding this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2013-06/msg00963.html
shouldn't it flagged, in some manner, to Cygwin ("Creators") list? For
example,
"Bootstrapping Emacs with this patch fails on Cygwin so and so... but
not on GNU/Linux... Have you some idea?..."
After all, trying to bootstrap Emacs trunk is not so much work... The
big work, perhaps, is in understanding the failure, I think..
Ciao
