 > They must not be, because I get the same problem as before with 12.2.1
 and Maxima 5.29.1.  Why not the p1 from #9167?  I don't understand...
 Because I would not not understand why the fixes of #9167 could fix your
 problem.
 From what I understand, there really would be no reason.
 What I did in #9167 is just renaming some files produced when building
 ECL, and more precisely the most relevant thing is moving lib/ecl.dll to
 bin/cygecl.dll and creating a new lib/libecl.dll.a.
 And frankly I see no reason why this should prevent a segfault when
 building Maxima with ECL.
 Maybe it does, I cannot say it's not the case, but if it it is then I
 cannot say why...

 My point was that if you got these differently named files (cygecl.dll and
 libecl.dll.a) and the customary one (ecl.dll), maybe somthing got mixed up
 and lead to a segfault, but that's just a guess.

 build from scratch with the 12.12.1 from this ticket to run over the
 weekend; since you have a clean fix (probably) for the Maxima library
 issue, maybe it just turned out my installation was somehow problematic.
