I've updated the pretest.  The C compiler should now work on Windows
9x and Me.  The problem was that while the `mmap' system call works on
Windows 2000 (the autoconfiguration test that GCC makes to determine
whether or not to take advantage of this features passes), it doesn't
work on Windows 98.  So, on Windows 98, GCC (as built) ended-up using
interfaces that were there, but non-functional on that platform.
