He should create a bug report or a patch and leave it in the SF bug tracker for later.

This "direct reward" may cost him a failed project.
If he cannot build CLISP on Windows in 6 week, this is what will happen.

There are so many such bugs in CLISP that Daniel will be able to spend
the whole summer on them.
Fixing them requires an effort: investigating when they were introduced,
testing the fix, &c &c.
This is important work, but it is out of the project's scope.

Daniel has a huge task ahead of him:

He has 6 weeks until June 20, 2016 (Mid-Term Evaluation) to pass
the first hurdle: build CLISP on
1. linux (one flavor),
2. bsd (one flavor),
3. windows (mingw?).

Any second spent on anything else increases the probability of a failure.

Minor bugs can be fixed later in the Summer of even in the Fall for the
3.01 release.
