Sweet.

Result from a machine. i686-pc-linux-gnu running Redhat 10 and gcc
4.3.2.  As was to be expected, it all turned out OK.


Scheme compilation had two sets of warnings

----------------------------
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ../meta/uninstalled-env guile-tools compile -o
"srfi/srfi-35.go" "srfi/srfi-35.scm"
wrote `srfi/srfi-35.go'

Some deprecated features have been used.  Set the environment
variable GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to "detailed" and rerun the
program to get more information.  Set it to "no" to suppress
this message.
----------------------------

and

----------------------------
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ../meta/uninstalled-env guile-tools compile -o
"language/ecmascript/parse.go" "language/ecmascript/parse.scm"
%% Reduce/Reduce conflict (reduce 9, reduce 6) on lparen in state 395
...
----------------------------

Make check completes with "some deprecated features have been used"
after socket.test

Make install completes okay.  Note the double-slashes in the "touch"
lines during installation.  For example.

----------------------------
 touch -r 'ice-9/emacs.scm'
'/usr/local/share/guile/1.9//ice-9/emacs.scm'
 touch -r 'ice-9/expect.scm'
'/usr/local/share/guile/1.9//ice-9/expect.scm'
--------------------------

Also, Guile-1.9.2 causes no regressions in the test suite for my library
gucu-0.3, which is to be expected because gucu is simple.  It was a bit
of a shock to see all the information about turning autocompilation off
repeated once for each of the ~50 scheme scripts that make up its test
suite, though.
