Correct. The native rxvt was heavily patched, and there was nobody
interested in porting it to 64-bit or generally supporting it.
Therefore, it was replaced with the ordinary X-based rxvt. The default
terminal emulator, mintty, fills that role and then some, and is what
you should be using instead if you don't want X11.
