ERROR: Stack overflow in guile-1.8.7

ERROR: Stack overflow in guile-1.8.7

[Antonio, Fabio Di Narzo]

Hi all.
I'm on an AMD64 linux system. I succesfully compiled and installed
guile-1.8.7, but when I try to run guile I get the:
ERROR: Stack overflow
error message, and I can't reach the repl. "make check" however passes
smoothly. I read about this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2009-03/msg00114.html
and yes, for me too setting the stack limit to 60'000 in eval.c solves
the issue. How can I circumvent/solve this problem without resorting
to patching the sources?
Tell me if you need any more details about my system setup.

I tried today branch_1.8 snapshot to see if the problem is still
present, but here "make check" stops with an unrelated error (which
probably deserves a different thread).

Cheers,
antonio.

Did you pass particular CFLAGS to the build system?  Normally the
default stack limit works well when compiling with ‘-O2’.

Putting ‘(debug-set! stack 60000)’ in ~/.guile should solve it.

Thanks,

No. My config.log says:
"
CFLAGS='-I/home/dinarzo/local/include -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror'
CPP='gcc -E'
"
