[Maxima] number printing problems in 5.9.3 xmaxima on windows/GCL

[Stavros Macrakis]

I'm using the current released version of Maxima, which uses GCL 2.6.7
(Windows).  Is there a GCL 2.6.8 built for Windows? Or a
fire-and-forget way of getting it to build on Windows?  I simply don't
have the time to play around with cvs etc.

By the way, why did you compile your tests?
