Thank, but see my followup, with a better (and more correct) variant.

No idea about this one.  Seems to be the consequence of using -D_MT in
the compiler flags, but that was suggested by Fabrice, and I really
don't know why is that important, or even what does it do, exactly.
Does it work if you remove -D_MT from EMACS_EXTRA_C_FLAGS in
nt/nmake.defs?

Anyway, can you work around this somehow and get to compiling Emacs
itself?  That's the important thing here, not lib-src programs, with
all due respect I have to them.
