DAC is getting a sensible "why are you keeping secrets from me?" error
from the Lisp engine. So things at C level are probably healthy.
With C healthy and that kind of error message, I'd check local setup
(eg, missing packages) first (very high probability with 21.4, pretty
high with 21.5), XEmacs screwage second, and Cygwin third. No matter
how many bugs you guys are inserting and deleting from Cygwin.
In this case, my guess is that DAC needs to force that file that
contains that function (lisp/autoload.el) to cvs update: rm
lisp/autoload.el*; cvs update lisp/autoload.el and rebuild.
If he's not using CVS, but rather a tarball, then he probably isn't
getting auto-autoloads.el rebuilt for some reason: rm
lisp/auto-autoloads.el* and rebuild should win.

IIRC, I did build that on Cygwin before releasing.
I tried this last p.m.: rm'd both the autoload & auto-autoload files and
did the update. Same result.
I'm going to try floundering about in search of a lisp compile error in
the "void" function. But if someone else build it successfully I'm not
very optimistic. Insight is greatly appreciated.
