This is incorrect. I build both the ones I supply directly and the ones
that Karl bundles with Xiphos. They're part of the standard Fedora packages
for MinGW builds of the Sword engine. I provide builds of both 32 and 64
bit versions directly at my download links.

(changing Karl to Greg...) Only if we can verify that this is exclusively a
problem of the Windows build process and not an inherent flaw of the
engine. Also, we need to verify that this doesn't also happen in Linux
builds from the same source tree.

We definitely haven't narrowed it down to a bit-size issue yet. The 32-bit
version that worked properly was several hundred commits back the source
tree history. There has likely been substantial changes to the whole system
since that time. We have much more to test before we're certain this is
either limited to the Windows builds or to 64-bit only.
