That would be an argument for not reporting them anywhere, not the bug
tracker, not emacs-devel.

But anyway, not many people builds on Windows, so build failures can
go unnoticed. I certainly built & installed (and bootstrapped &
installed) before commiting the change, but my builds are all in-place
and I missed this bug. So, yes, for Windows building failures I'd
recommend filing bug reports.
