Hi, Raman!

I have installed all three packages, marshal, gh and gist, generated
quickstart file and byte compiled it and Emacs starts for me just as same.

When compiling marshal I have got some obsoloete/deprecated warning, but
Emacs starts just fine.

Interesting with gh; it uses old 'cl and uses lots of cl-* functions, so
when I start Emacs with gh in a version of Emacs I compiled from a
master I downloaded today, it just starts no questions asked. But in my
"normal" Emacs version, which is a native compiler branch about a week
or two old, I get some deprecated warnigns even with start. But aside
from that Emacs starts fine.

I see no crashes with byte compiled file at all. I don't know for Emacs
27 though; I don't have it installed.

Hope it helps.

Best regards
