Seems to be OK except (si::getpid) in gazonk-name.
I suggest replace it by (abs(si::getpid)) -- looks
quite harmless.  Otherwise gcl build gets screwed up
for /pcl dir.  I observed this when building gcl
on Windows Me and spent quite a bit of time trying to
understand what is going on wrong.  With negative PID
init_ function in compiler-generated gazonk_pid_n.c
file may acquire some wrong weird name.
Something like init_c__msys_home_vadim_gazonk__pid_n
(file name with full path) instead of required
init_gazonk_pid_n.
