Well, perhaps ...

 1. you got yours out of a different box (I got mine from ftp.gnu.org)

    or

 2. you used a different method for building (I followed the
    instructions in README.W32)

    or

 3. your environment is configured differently than mine.

I'm assuming you read my original message and are aware than I'm
building using nmake with NMakefile (as described in README.W32) instead
of make under bash.

D:\tmp>tar xzf make-3.79.tar.gz

D:\tmp>"D:\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat"
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools.
C:\tmp>cd make-3.97

D:\tmp\make-3.97>nmake -f NMakefile 
 ... [snip] ...
under main.c(819) : error C2065: 'LOCALEDIR' : undeclared identifier
 ... [snip] ...

Once I solved that problem (see patch in my earlier message) the modules
compiled but the linker complained that the symbol _debug_flag was
missing, so I fixed that (see patch ...) and the linker was happy as
well.  I assumed that it would be helpful to post the patches for the
benefit of anyone trying to do the same thing who wasn't as fortunate as
you.
