Mike,
I rebuilt cvs gcl-2.6.1 and maxima last night under winXP.
I got a clean testsuite run under xmaxima using the tree
installed by msys. I haven't made an installer and tested
that, or run it under win95 or NT4 yet.

I bet it is the compile test. Try the following in xmaxima
f(x):=x+2;
compile(f);
f(x);
I futher bet that maxima can't find gcc. I have a fixes for this (on another PC).

Agree, and other cheers for Mike's efforts too.
