Mr. Beebe reported several problems in his original email. 1. The "regcomp doesn't accept empty strings" bug that has now been reported by others as well. 2. The "putenv ("TZ") returns -1" bug that has now been reported by others as well. 3. A problem with "$@" not working on Compaq/DEC OSF/1 4.0 and 5.0, which means that our standard Guile scripts boilerplate won't work on this OS in the case that no arguments are passed. 4. Two problems with the Boehm GC stack-finding code not working, on MacOS X and Compaq Alpha OSF/1 5.0. 5. A .so library loading problem on IBM RS/6000 AIX 4.3. 6. The syncase/gensym issue, since fixed in CVS. 7. A stack overflow during guile_filter_doc_snarfage on SGI IRIX 6.5. 8. A build failure on Solaris 2.8. I copied various followups to bug-guile@gnu.org, but no firm conclusion was reached on any (except 6). Can you see them there? If not, I could send them to you privately.
