FWIW flatwhatson reported the dreaded libgc “mmap(PROT_NONE)” crash
upstream and gathered more info:
https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/353
On #guile they also mentioned that libgc 8 defaults to
‘--enable-munmap=6’ whereas libgc 7 would default to ‘--disable-munmap’.
Thus, in ‘core-updates’ commit a605ef3ce9dbd6b79dd9322f89d9facaf875b487,
I changed libgc 8 so it’s built with ‘--disable-munmap’. This relieves
the need for ‘guile-3.0/libgc-7’. (I checked with “make as-derivation”
on x86_64-linux that those derivations that would previously fail with
libgc 8 no longer do.)
