Could be.  But it also could be that the Windows-specific issue is in
sr-speedbar.  We won't know that until we understand the root cause of
the error message, so let's focus on that, okay?

Where (in which local directory) do you unpack emacs-master.tar.gz?

And then you delete the /tmp/emacs-master tree, is that right?

For this problem, please also produce a Lisp backtrace and post it.
It is very hard to try to analyze a problem without some minimal
details, and this is one of them.
