Doh' My latest observation is that Josselin's fixes work for i686-linux, except for breaking store-roots, and that tests/inferior.scm hangs (see make check log attached). After a couple of hours into make check, I did a `pkill guile' and it continued with tests/lint.scm. The tests/inferior.log file was empty. Greetings, Janneke
