Ok, having installed the updated runtime modules, the Axiom
build from your original Windows sources is now will on it's
way to completion in the middle of compiling the algebra.
Thank you!

When this completes, I will start working with the
axiom--windows-1 arch sources. My first attempt to build
from these failed due to a compile error in bsdsignal.c.
I will check what is different between what is in your original
sources versus what is in axiom--windows-1. Perhaps those
patches got missed when Tim created the archive? I will
let you know if/when I submit new patches.

For the record (and also to encourage other people to try
it):

I installed a completely new MinGW/MSYS configuration from the
'current' file list at:

http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml#hdr2

In the following order:

1)  MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download
2)  MSYS-1.0.10.exe
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download
3)  msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
    http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?download

Then untarred the following:
 (cd /mingw; tar xzvf /home/bpage/... )

4)  gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
 
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download
