  Allegro CL 5.0 unified the Windows and Unix offerings, so that the real
  difference between Windows and Linux is the underlying operating system.
  (the GUI builder and the IDE are still only offered under Windows, but
  those do not affect code that does not use it.)  considering what you say
  about FFI, it therefore seems reasonable to assume that you have built
  this with Allegro CL for Windows 3.0.  if so, it is really disappointing.
