FAIL: test-use-srfi (Leopard)

[Alexander Asteroth]

OK, I managed getting guile-1.8.5 compiled on Mac OS X Leopard.

Since gmp-4.2.2 detected 64 bit (and compilation failed with ABI=32) I  
configured guile with CLFLAGS=-m64. After using make LIBTOOL=/usr/ 
local/bin/libool (to get libtool-2.2.2) compilation succeeded  
successfully.

When doing a make check, I get an error trace (see below).
Also the binary guile fails to execute with an error trace - stack  
overflow).

Thanks for any help,

	Alex

PS: I also tried guile-1.8.4 before and 1.6.8. Both faild to compile.

So you didn't have to modify the source at all, right?

This indicates that the default Scheme stack depth limit is too low for
your platform.  Can you try the patch provided in the following message:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/7221

It implements automatic calibration of the stack depth limit.  You can
apply it by typing:

  cd guile-1.8.5
  patch -p0 < /path/to/the-patch.diff

As a side effect it will produce debugging output about the stack
calibration process; can you also report that output?

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.
