Below are the detailed steps, but with 2463 the build process fails again
due to wrong CXX flags, and WINDRES has to be set manually:

$ make WINDRES="i586-mingw32msvc-windres"
test -d parcels/boxbackup-chris_general_2463M-backup-client-mingw32msvc ||
mkdir parcels/boxbackup-chris_general_2463M-backup-client-mingw32msvc

$ cat /trunk.2463/lib/win32/Makefile | grep CXX
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -DNDEBUG -O0 -g -Wall   -DBOX_VERSION="\"chris_general_2463\""
CXXFLAGS = -g -Wall   -DBOX_VERSION="\"chris_general_2463\""
_CXX     = $(if $(V),$(CXX),     @ echo "[CXX]     $<" && $(CXX))
_LINK    = $(if $(V),$(CXX),     @ echo "[LINK]    $@" && $(CXX))
        $(_CXX) $(CXXFLAGS)  -mthreads
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc/include -Wall -c emu.cpp -o $(OUTDIR)/emu.o


which is probably wrong, because CXX should be i586-mingw32msvc-g++?

Once changed, make works (even though WINDRES still needs to be set)
