Greetings! Great to hear of your progress. BTW, I build frequently
under latest wine/mingw packages in Debian, together with
maxima/acl2/axiom, without issue. Had a native windows box too recently
and got things working.
axiom needs xdr. Latest glibc moves the functions, and my configure fix
was too stringent. How about this:
