I just successfully built Gambit with in a fresh MinGW/MSys environment -- MinGW/MSys were just installed last month. Everything builds fine, but I get these errors when running "make check":

Seems strange (and a bit amusing) how there is a newline character in the middle of the word "newline" in test output.
Just to test, I installed Gambit to the machine (which is running Windows XP) using the binary distribution from the Gambit website. Then I ran the test manually using:
{path-to-installed-gsi}/gsi -:h4000,~~bin={path-to-installed-gsi}/bin,~~lib={path-to-installed-gsi}/lib,~~include={path-to-installed-gsi}/include -f error.scm < error.scm
I was kind of expecting the test to succeed, but it gave the same error output (with "newline" split into to pieces).
Any idea what is causing this?
