Perhaps your build for Linux is 64-bit (which gives 16 registers)?

This reminds me: we need to add win64-* make targets.  Last time we
discussed this, it sounded like we'd have to use other than Cygwin for
them, and make use of some of JimF's changes in jumbo to use Windows
native APIs in more places (the core tree mostly uses Cygwin's Unix-ish
wrapper functions instead).  Is this still the case?
