dialec3.pas failed

IIRC this is okay under Cygwin but fails under Mingw, with complaints about undefined references to 'pipe' and 'fork' (or something like that - Frank will remember because I reported the problem to him (it was an RTS problem)).

dialec[356] basically test all units (only for compileability). The pipe/fork problem occurred under mingw, in this case the problems reported were:

: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/units/pipec.o: In function : `_p_pipe': : /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/units/pipec.o(.text+0x0): : multiple definition of `_p_pipe' : pipec.o:/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/test/./../units/pipec.c:40: first : defined here : /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_p_pipe' changed from 490 to 599 in : /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/units/pipec.o

Which means that GPC does not always recognize differently written identical file names...
