My experience is that the last useful build of Emacs-CVS is that
downloaded with:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous AT cvs DOT sv DOT gnu DOT org:/cvsroot/emacs co -P -D "06
Sep 2006 13:50" emacs

The builds of the CVS source after 20060906 13:50, up to now, or fail or,
if they are completed, Emacs segment faults.

I build with

cd emacs
mkdir .build
cd .build
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs-22.0.50
make bootstrap
make install


In any case, there are prebuilt binaries (Mingw, I think) at

  http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-windows.html
  http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html


Cheers,

   Angelo.
