Like Vadim,  I have built ansi gcl with this patch then maxima-5.12.0.
I have also built CVS maxima, after fixing a gcl specific problem 
introduced a couple of weeks ago.  Is there anything specific I can test.

I have been using a one-line patch for ages, as my ancient mingw/msys
setup doesn't define a necessary function.  I will try and remember 
why and report back
