Someone has been kind enough to loan me an account on a 64-bit machine: neil@we:~/guile-core-1.8-20060328$ uname -a Linux we 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp #1 SMP Wed Jun 1 00:01:27 CEST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux But using the latest 1.8 snapshot, guile-core-1.8-20060328.tar.gz, I can't reproduce the problem, either with straight `./configure; make' or with `env CC="gcc -m64" ./configure; make'. Is this because something got fixed in 1.8 CVS, or because I'm missing some important ingredient of the builds which were reported as failed? The gcc on this machine is: neil@we:~/guile-core-1.8-20060328$ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
