Updating to XCode 3.2.5 and starting over by re-extracting guile-2.0.0
went much further toward success.   The vm compiled as well as the
majority of guile modules.   Currently dying while building
guile-readline.

Making all in guile-readline
  SNARF  readline.x
make  all-am
  CC     readline.lo
readline.c: In function 'init_bouncing_parens':
readline.c:445: warning: implicit declaration of function 'rl_get_keymap_name'
readline.c:445: warning: passing argument 1 of 'strncmp' makes pointer
from integer without a cast
  CCLD   libguilereadline-v-18.la
Undefined symbols:
  "_rl_get_keymap_name", referenced from:
      _scm_init_readline in readline.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libguilereadline-v-18.la] Error 1

FWIW I had some previous troubles with guile 1.8 and readline that
turned out to be a 64 vs 32 bit issue.   As I recall, re-installing
readline from a tarball instead of from MacPorts cured that.  Any
thoughts as to whether this might be related?

Thanks again,
Mike
