I have solved the immediate problem by purging the Windows machine from MinGW
and re-installing MinGW-W64 with the i686 architecture. Everything works well.
Could the older CPU lack some features which either the MinGW-W64 tool chain or
Chicken Scheme need? The laptop has an Intel Core2 Duo L9600 running @ 2.13 GHz.
Thanks.
