I'm about to do that. :)

Done that.  Seemed to not cause any problems.

I tried it on a i386-unknown-gnu0.3 system, but didn't get beyond the
"make".  Well, I got the following messages during configuring, which
are bugs elsewhere (and which I'm about to report elsewhere) and should
not cause further harm; but in case it actually is relevant for the
other problem I encountered, here they are:

Later, the compilation aborted with

I would like to note that with a small patch in the GC (which I sent to
rlb back then), Guile 1.5.6 compiled and seemed to work (I only started
it and entered some simple expressions).

Cheers,
