This is filed as gretl bug 2905661. It's not clear what we can do
about it. The issue is that the current version of GLib, one of
gretl's dependencies, requires the freeaddrinfo which is not found
on Windows 2000. I filed this as a bug against GLib at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603527 .
If it's resolved at the level of GLib we'll be fine. Otherwise we
will have to (a) use an old version of GLib in the gretl for
Windows package or (b) explicitly drop support for this 10-year
old operating system.
Allin.
