Update Information:

This build includes post-release fixes from upstream's polyml-5.5-fixes subversion branch:
- Bug fix in structure matching code.  The code tries to reuse the original structure if it matches the signature without any changes.  This fixes a bug where if the only difference was the coercion of a constructor or exception to a value the original structure was used and the code to do the coercion was lost.  Includes a regression test.
- Fix bug in power-of-two function in code-generator.  This caused an infinite loop with Word.* when multiplying by a constant with the highest bit set and not a power of two.
- Fix bug in X86-64 code-generator with literal constants that do not fit in 32-bits.  It could result in an "InternalError: gen32s: invalid word" exception.  Includes regression test.
- Backport commit 1602 from trunk.  This causes ELF relocations on X86-64 to be written as Elf64_Rela structures.  It seems the linker on Linux ignores the addend in Elf64_Rel relocations when generating position-independent executables.
- Backport fix 1652 from trunk.  Create stream tokens as mutable so that pointer equality is valid.
- Backport 1655 and 1657 from trunk.  In Cygwin call spawnvp from the main thread because it seems not to be thread-safe.
