Errors in Windows Maxima 5.26.0 run_testsuite

Hi, Mr. Billinghurst. When you said "I have confirmed that these failures do not occur in a maxima-5.26.0 built with gcl/gcc-4.6.2", I assume you mean built from the standard Maxima 5.26.0 source code release, as opposed to a CVS snapshot. If that is correct, then I figure this is how the official Windows Maxima 5.26.0 binary ought to be built. Again, if that assumption is correct, then will you please post a download link to this Windows binary built from the official Maxima 5.26.0 source code release?

I tested the below binary, which you stated is built from "maxima cvs 2012-01-16 using gcc-4.6.2" ( http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2012/027475.html ):

MD5: 598835f2e8210664f192dd58d3a1fc84


Below is the build information:


Maxima version: 5.26.0
Maxima build date: 10:0 1/17/2012
Host type: i686-pc-mingw32
Lisp implementation type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
Lisp implementation version: GCL 2.6.8


Below is the result I obtained from running the command run_testsuite(); :


No unexpected errors found out of 9,128 tests.
real time       :    338.510 secs
run-gbc time    :    309.220 secs
child run time  :      0.000 secs
gbc time        :     29.290 secs
(%o0)                                done

I have confirmed that these failures do not occur in a maxima-5.26.0 
built with gcl/gcc-4.6.2
