IIUC it is possible to build GCL on Windows. It seems that
Maxima folks offer binary based on GCL.
It seems that they are offering clisp/sbcl/abcl for windows.

Concerning
fricas_gcl_rsym_hack I am assuming that it is still necessary,
unless proved otherwise.
I didn't bother to try.
Since we can easily build on windows with sbcl/ecl/clisp, I suggest
to simply drop this hack.
Gain from removal is tiny, IMO it is better to keep it.
Status on GCL on windows:
I tried to build GCL on windows (mingw-w64), ./configure says it
doesn't recognize the system.
Web search points to "GCL 2.6.13 and Windows" by Camm:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gcl-devel/2022-12/msg00000.html
""""
2.6.13pre supports the original MinGW 32bit (of 2013) and current
cygwin 64bit.
mingw-w64 can eventually be supported
""""
I'm looking for a windows native build, so I'll not consider cygwin.
I also don't want to use outdated original mingw.
So I'll leave the hack there.
