I'm tempted to give up on this method of creating an external library of
the fixed package and linking the oct-files to it.. I did this to all
windows platforms to access the symbols of the fixed package and allow
the use of the fixed type within other oct-files on windows.. This is
not needed for linux, or MacOS.
I'll take a look at it and see what I can do..
