I've reverted the directory name change so it is just 'lib\gcc' now in
both builds.  That's not a deal breaker for me.  I'll be committing
those changes to Hamlib master at a later time as some other pull
requests are pending.

I would advise that you or someone on the main team subscribe to our
mailing list to see what we're discussing and committing to master.  We
do have a number of necessary changes that will be made after 4.7.0 is
released in preparation for the planned 5.0.0 release.

I realize what you're trying to achieve, but this is the dance card of
following a project on its development branch rather than stable
releases.  That said, I'd rather these issues be worked out sooner than
at the last minute, so thank you.  Welcome to the dance.  😉

73, Nate
