Sorry for being a bit slow - I've been doing my own work on x86. I gave your patch (and new file) a test run on x86_64-win64, and that seems to work fine. At least the warning messages in the packages appear magenta. I'll give arm-linux a test next.
No problem, thanks for testing. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me under Windows (Win 10 Pro 64-bit) either with the original version or with my modifications (i.e. hopefully unrelated to my changes). It could be some configuration of the used Windows installation, whatever, no idea. I'll probably commit my changes now hoping that I didn't break anything for anybody for whom it worked correctly previously. The GO32v2 version was not compilable in the sent version, fixed now and tested to work properly (apparently, coloured output using ANSI escape codes works more reliably with 16-bit MS-DOS/PC DOS/... than with 64-bit MS Windows 10 Pro ;-) ). And BTW, no, it doesn't work under DOSBox, because DOSBox supports ANSI escape codes out of the box without signalizing that such support is available in a way compatible to the real DOS. I could add a specific check for running under DOSBox if somebody wants it (it's just a few more lines of code, no difficulties).
