Thanks for going through this. > Use of Gnulib > - linker warning > - alloca - Have we inadvertently removed requirement for a real alloca? No. Gnulib's `alloca' provides a substitute when that's needed and most importantly provides the right #ifdefs to get a working `alloca ()' (see `lib/alloca.in.h' and (info "(autoconf) Particular Functions")). > serial number in guile.m4 Why is that?

Like what? The top of the file is in `#ifdef DEVAL'. > SCM_INTERNAL (grep diffs for SCM_INTERNAL to get list of affected functions) Speaking of which, some functions were left external (e.g., `scm_i_string_chars ()') under the assumption that if we changed that in 1.8 (which was my plan back then) it would break apps. We may need to revise that. > Queries > ======= > AC_SUBST(GCC_FLAGS) This is so that we don't compile Gnulib code with `-Wall -Werror' since Gnulib doesn't guarantee that this would work. > lib-version.texi This is for use in `api-i18n.texi', for instance. > ChangeLogs still in distribution? Yes, same as for `branch_release-1-8'. > libguile in subdirs list of pre-inst-guile.in Dunno why. The Right Way would be to use `libtool --mode=execute -dlopen foo-bar.la' anyway. Thanks, Ludo'.
