The only (quick) fix I see is to unmerge
https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/merge_requests/583.

That might work for most people, but zexy will then be completely
broken in the mingw64 build again. Which means that I won't be able to
use zexy, because I need to be able to run pd-faustgen2 (which
requires 64 bit) on Windows in at least one of my upcoming courses.

Is there a way you can do that if a collection of externals is
compiled as a library? Do we have a working example of this in the
libraries that we ship? Then we could possibly apply the same method
to zexy.

Not as far as I can tell -- as you know if you read the description of
my MR, it uses Makefile.pdlibbuilder now. It's hopefully possible to
massage zexy/Makefile so that it produces separate externals. I can
look into that as soon as I find the time if you want.

> Also-- Albert, did you go through the `git log externals/zexy` to see if we had any fixes for things that aren't upstream? The only thing I vaguely recall had to do with hexloader, but that my have been a different external lib...

No, I didn't. Most of those seem to be about hexmunger, which the
library version doesn't need if I understand correctly. The others
are:

https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/commit/5e9124e9: Not
sure, code review is in order.

https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/commit/3cf58d708: Not
sure, code review is in order.

https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/commit/7b3a9f539:
Probably still needed, but it won't apply without ado to the new
version because of code changes.

https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/commit/e294b129: Probably
still needed as well, we may just apply it anyway because it won't do
any harm AFAICT.
