Hi guilers,

	[for info: tried twice to send this message to 'guile-devel@gnu.org' but
	it came back with 'address failed']

In order to produce a useful backtrace for a segfault using guile-gnome0
[I am so close, all -dev and -dbg are now installed] I need to rebuild
guile-1.6.8-latest with debugging symbols [nostrip]:

	apt-get build-dep guile-1.6
	apt-get source guile-1.6
	cd guile-1.6-1.6.8
	export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug nostrip noopt"
	debuild

It compiles fine but fails in the test-suite and 'refuses' to create the .deb files.
Attached are the config.log, the check-guile.log and below the terminal output.

I am on an hybrid debian distro, as you will understand from the config.log, it is
not an official 'etch', but hope I can have your support, debugging symbols are
essential to me, to inform guile-gnome0 developpers

Many Thanks,
David
