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)")
