Not quite; the build is potentially cross, and the guile we just built may not run on the host (autoconf "build") machine. It may be there should be a file of stack limits in various places, found by autoconf tuple. That's somewhat ugly, but avoids breaking cross builds. An alternative is to detect the cross situation and use a fixed value then. That doesn't impair self-hosted builds. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAknSVrcACgkQ+vesoDJhHiXBBQCfYCLtPxViLqb6BkKiC0H4hDNE B04An1gOSgKcMmXdfnVezL04PGvFo8DC =6Q+J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
