Ok.

BTW, I could run a full build on Win10 with master sources updated today 
(but without enable-dbgutil).

I did a make clean and build again with enable-dbgutil.

Exception enable-dbgutil, the autogen.input contains only:

--with-visual-studio=2022

--with-parallelism=1

(this last one is mandatory for me because the build hangs regularly 
without it whereas I disabled Windows Defender on the whole cygwin 
directory).

I'm giving a try right now with gcc instead of clang and with a 
simplified autogen.input (compared with previous one):

-disable-compiler-plugins
--enable-dbus
--enable-werror
--enable-dependency-tracking
--enable-python=fully-internal
--enable-symbols
--with-referenced-git=/home/julien/lo/libreoffice
--with-external-tar=/home/julien/lo/libreoffice/external/tarballs
--enable-avahi
--with-lang=en-US fr

Indeed!
