okay, some more infos.

I was able to bootstrap the emacs compile with mingw64.

while I was trying to debug this problem with fprintf, eww suddenly
started to work!!

It started to work after I did insert an fprintf after the
gnutls_try_handshake call in process.c !!

what is going on here?

maybe this problem seems to be an timing and/or cpu issue? my laptop uses an
relativley new intel core i7-7500u cpu.
