Btw, if you mean this one:

  /* Send over our environment and current directory. */
  if (!current_frame)
    {
      extern char **environ;
      int i;
      for (i = 0; environ[i]; i++)
        {
          send_to_emacs (emacs_socket, "-env ");
          quote_argument (emacs_socket, environ[i]);
          send_to_emacs (emacs_socket, " ");
        }

then it was there since 2005, so Fabrice's build somehow succeeded to
get past it.  Some factor other than the declaration is at work here.
Maybe I goofed in my changes in nmake.defs.  Hopefully, someone or
Fabrice himself will figure this out.
