Hi Enrico,
Subr-x.el comes with Emacs. You can easily find it as a file. The problem is that it isn’t loaded at the time when e-macs is being built, and this is a problem for the “pre-loading” phase which compiles code, in this case term/ns-win.el, into the emacs binary so that it does not have to be loaded (slowly) at run-time.

I’m cc;’ing the mailing list, which is where we should have discussions so that everybody can learn.

Try out the patch below and let me know if that works for you. It makes sure that subr-x is loaded, and its dependency, p-case. During this load phase, emacs refuses to honor “require” statements. We have to do it manually, for some reason.
