As one more data point, my main development machine runs Windows XP. That's where I maintain and develop Emacs, that's where all the ezwinports ports are produced, that's where I build GDB and Make and Guile and Texinfo and Gawk -- all of them (and more) available from the ezwinports site. Until now I had no problems with compiling any project which uses Gnulib. I guess this is about to change.
