Re: [Gcl-devel] HEAD Maxima and HEAD trad GCL

Thanks, Mike!  The shortest route is perhaps via fixing the existing
relocation code, the further debugging of which I outlined in my last
email.  We need a few more items from the gdb session.  If for any
reason you did not get that email or are otherwise having difficulty,
please let me know.  Or if anyone else with a windows mingw setup
would like to help our steadfast Mike Thomas, please speak up!

Take care,
