                 Summary: Non-portable binary compilations on linux

Details:

By default, when I built guile on my linux box (debian sarge). it uses the
"__libc_stack_end" symbol.  This symbol is not portable.  When I compile and
link my program with the guile libraries, and then try to move the binary to
a different linux platform (with a different version of GNU libc), the
program won't load with the error:

./no-repl: relocation error: ./no-repl: symbol __libc_stack_end, version
GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

ldd --version shows glic 2.3.2 on one box, 2.3.5 on the other (it also fails
between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3)

My solution was to rebuild guile, but remove the line
"#define HAVE_LIBC_STACK_END 1" from config.h before recompiling (after
reconfiguring)

After relinking my executeable with this new version of guile, it still
failed due to:
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path

which meant I had to distribute along with the contents of
<install dir>/share/guile/1.6/ 
and set up run scripts to configure GUILE_LOAD_PATH before running my
executeable.  

As __libc_stack_end is a non-portable symbol, I would like to see it not used
by default on the guile build.  (or not used at all honestly)

Also, it would be nice if there was a way to statically link the file from
the share directory.  If there already is and I just missed it while browsing
the documentation, I apologize, but I was unable to find it.
