Oh, you mean MiNT? I used this in 1990-1992.

In this situation, you cannot expect commitment from gnulib. You can, of course, report problems that you find. But I will give priority to issues found with recent Unix version and mingw. And I have ca. 25 such issues pending. Problems that you should report in any case, however, are problems in the module description: missing source files, missing dependencies, or errors signalled by 'autoconf' while creating the configure file.
