Oh, you mean MiNT? I used this in 1990-1992. Definitely a museum system by now.

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.
