I have the feeling that we should implement our own dynamic-link function without libltdl.

I think the situation would actually be better on other architectures because we wouldn't have to deal with bugs like this one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.bugs/5269 Andy --=20 http://wingolog.org/
