With your updated configury from r114769, obj-mingw32/lib/Makefile has:

CPP = gcc -I ../nt/inc -E
CPPFLAGS = -mtune=pentium4   -IC:/emacs/mingw-devel/include -IC:/emacs/mingw-devel/src/xpm/3.5.1/libXpm-3.5.1-src/lib -DUSE_CRT_DLL=1 -I ${abs_top_srcdir}/nt/inc

Not sure where that comes from though...

Thanks for looking at this. There is still a build error in that the the
paths using $abs_top_srcdir don't expand properly. I've tracked this
down to the trailing tab and comment in the Makefile.in files:

abs_top_srcdir=@abs_top_srcdir@        # MinGW CPPFLAGS may use this

Removing the tab and the comment in all the Makefile.in files fixed
things for me.
