RE: Link error in 21.2-b2/NT
I had the same problem in 21.2-b3. The *pwent functions seem to be used
for username completion which is not very usefull under NT. I solved it
with the following dummy functions at the top of dired.c
static struct passwd *getpwent() { return NULL; }
static void setpwent() {}
static void endpwent() {}
Hope this helps.

It hasn't - most of us are still working in the 21.0 tree, not 21.2.

Apparently NT does not have these functions used by my username
completion patch. Those functions can be ifdeffed out under windows,
or maybe there are equivalents. I'm not an NT user.
