I've just fixed this in the Emacs CVS with the following change:

Okay, it works, I've built it on XP successfully (GCC 4.2.3 + BinUtils
2.17 + DJGPP 2.04) using SYSTEM_MALLOC. Tested to run okay on Vista
also.

N.B. Using the above-mentioned pretest .tar.gz + your tiny patch.
This .7z is via -mx5 and is only (heh) 34 MB. The only stuff I deleted
was "emacs, temacs, etc." redundant .EXEs without extensions as well
as all objects (.o) since they're superfluous for future builds (it's
not exactly a long wait since most .elc are precompiled).

P.S. Way too many Changelogs. And there are 10 copies of COPYING, heh,
is that really necessary? In a perfect world, all the docs would
be .gz'd in order to save space after unpacking (since auto-
compression can mostly transparently read 'em). Anyways, I guess the
point is that a lot of stuff isn't majorly necessary just to use the
editor itself. (And I personally would split off all networking and
news and mail stuff into a separate package since most of us don't use
that in DOS.) As is, it takes 180 MB on NTFS, so probably worse on
pure FAT (esp. big FAT16 partitions).

In short, BIN, SRC, DOC, LISPBIN, LISPSRC, NETWORK, ETC is how I'm
thinking, but that's probably too many files to download / keep track
of. I'd also make /current/ use 2.03p2 with REL_ALLOC while /beta/ use
2.04 with SYSTEM_MALLOC.

Just my $0.02. But very nice job on everything!! :-)
