I finally managed to build a working 32-bit emacs.exe using MSYS (I think that's what Eli is using; the 2017 release, right?) under Wine, and I can confirm it dumps and appears to work now, with the patch. The dumped bignum has the right value. I hope that's true for Eli's machine as well. I'm building without native compilation, though.

While we're on the subject, though, I had to modify mps a little to build with GCC. Are other people using a different compiler for mps? Or are there patches somewhere?

(I also ran into the "Write error to standard output: Success" issue, possibly because I ran wine from within Docker, so I ended up removing the failure exits from 'close_output_streams')
