Just for completeness..

When I build emacs-git, I get the following:

$ MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 makepkg-mingw -sLf
[...]

it comes from 'prepare' step:

$ cat /tmp/mingw-w64-emacs-git/mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs-git-r122122.c7e9792-1-x86_64-prepare.log

Strangely, when I build directly:

wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/snapshot/emacs-master.tar.gz
tar -xf emacs-master.tar.gz
cd emacs-master

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=...

I don't see that message ("Unescaped left brace in regex...")
