I took your suggestion that I was seeing bugs that had been fixed
recently----I dumped
the windows Tortoise CVS and used cvs from msys. specfn.lisp still does
not compile
correctly, but everything else does.
My gcl appends ^M to ends of lines and run_testsuite() gives error breaks
on
all files. Maybe this is related the ^M bug? Anyway, building maxima
under
GCL is (still) an adventure.
