This looks like it's missing stuff from Bruces move from
backend/port/win32 to port/kill.c of the kill signal. Are you sure you
pulled a new version of the port directory as well? And did you do a
"make clean"?

IIRC, /port/ is not recompied if you just to "make" in the backend
directory. You could also try doing a manual maek in /port/ before you
make in backend.

Don't know about the list fubnctions like llast/ltruncate, but I bet
that could also show up if you didn't do "make clean".
