ISTR some maintainer (Glenn?) saying that people should not file bug
reports about obvious build failures, because they are likely to be
noticed and fixed soon.

>> Commit 116425 is related to "README.W32", so the problem might come from there.

At that moment, the current directory is that of the current makefile.
 In this case is "/usr/home/dani/emacs/build/nt".
