   Ok, thanks for reminding me that I have 3.4.6 available too.   
      
   I abandoned 3.4.6 when it had i370 bugs that couldn't be   
   resolved, and also because it was larger and defeated a   
   kludge I had in place for z/PDOS.   
      
   But it may well work fine for x86_64.   
      
   However, in another "this wouldn't have happened on PDOS"   
   moment, my x64 Chromebook, which boots PDOS fine, has   
   failed to boot Zorin. I got a error message about some sort   
   of interrupt not working, switching to polling, and that's all.   
      
   So now I still don't have a 64-bit compiler available. I was   
   wondering whether I should download mingw64 instead.   
      
   Actually, I wonder what happens if I try to build x86_64   
   using my 32-bit gccwin? Is it technically possible to build   
   a 64-bit compiler using a 32-bit compiler? I'll see what happens.
