I created such a script but my problem is that chmod seems not to work
for me!

   chmod u+x build-zips.sh

doesn't change anything, so I can't run the scripts.  Do you know this
problem?

I don't get here the "emacs-src" and "emacs-src-cache" folders, they
aren't mention in README-scripts.  Do I have to create them by hand?

So I tried to run build-dep.zips.py -s by hand for (a snapshot) but I
haven't had luck:

Please have a look at the end and tell me which MSYS2 package contains
/mingw64/bin/ntldd?  I don't see it in the system and in pacman
