When opening src/w32.c with emacs -Q I currently get

Eval error in the `c-lang-defconst' for `c-cpp-matchers' in c-mode:
Eval error in the `c-lang-defconst' for `c-matchers-1' in c-mode:
File mode specification error: (error "`c-opt-cpp-prefix' got no (prior) value in c-mode (might be a cyclic reference)")

Works for me on GNU/Linux. cc-mode is notoriously fussy about how it
was compiled, so you might try starting again from scratch. Or it may
be a Windows problem.

Indeed, I should have known better.  The bug disappeared after a
make bootstrap.

Thanks, martin.
