bug#11083: guile-2.0.5 bug report

[Kiyoshi KANAZAWA <yoi_no_myoujou@yahoo.co.jp>]

Hi, Mark,

Thank you for your kindness.

I'm discussing with a member of gc project these 5 days.
He also told me to configure with "--enable-threads=posix" instead of -DGC_THREADS.

And I'm also testing the latest gc-7.2 candidate and gc-7.3 (developement) candidate.


Now, I'm retrying to build guile-2.0.5 again.
Make & make check pass with gcc-3.4.3 -m32, but make fail with -m64.
Message of make check is:as follows.
(libguile-2.0.so.22 is "ELF 64-bit LSB executable", so that it can be linked.)

make  all-am
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/guile-2.0.5/libguile'
