Sad, but it needs the pthreads support for the GDB interface.
Is this for the new GDB monitor commands (since earlier versions of XRoar with GDB support work on XP)?

I don't think trying to support XP is going to prey on my mind too much, but just this once maybe see if the 1.1.55 snapshot build in
http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/xroar/ works for you! In case it does, it was built under MinGW with the options
--disable-gdb-target --without-pthreads supplied to configure.
I would love to try it, but unfortunately
xroar-snap-1.1.55-w32.zip doesn't contain an executable!

No it's all GDB support - the problem is that the pthreads library in mingw has changed (not sure why), and now looks like it won't work at all on XP. So in theory I could downgrade all my mingw things but that's quite difficult to maintain...

Whoops! That's uncovered another odd build bug, and now I wonder how the regular windows builds even worked at all... Try 1.1.80

Thank you, 1.1.80 works.
Note that if XP support is removed I will no longer be able to test 32-bit Windows versions of XRoar on a 32-bit version of Windows. I can still test them on 64-bit versions of Windows but then any problem arising from running XRoar on a 32-bit Windows platform may go unnoticed.

Ciaran,
my antivirus software won't let me run xroar.exe found in xroar-1.2-w32.zip, claiming that it contains "Win32:MalOb-IJ [Cryp]". Can you confirm that this is a false positive?
There is no problem with xroar.exe found in xroar-1.2-w64.zip.

Well I can confirm that I certainly didn't put it there
It was cross-built on a Linux machine using MinGW... which doesn't mean that Debian's toolchain couldn't have been subverted of course, but does make it seem less likely to be a true positive.
For what it's worth, ClamAV 0.103.7 doesn't spot anything wrong with it (zip md5sum 26e40641eb594ce5705c36c017c38783). Scanning the raw directory, and the zip separately:

Would you have any problem with me uploading the file (or giving the URL) to virustotal.com?

Not at all, how could I mind?

VirusTotal shows that two vendors claim a problem - the sister companies Avast and AVG, so in reality just one vendor since they share the same virus definitions - so I am pretty confident that it is a false positive.
