Heh. I actually do have the latest gcc, but somehow the upgrade didn't 
pick up the debug package (which showed as not installed in setup.exe). 
I have manually upgraded it now.

BTW, how do you compile emacs from the sources given? I tried untarring 
and patching, but I get the message:

My goal is to get a build compiled with "-g -0g -fsanitize=address" and 
see what that turns up...
