GNU Greg fails to build against recent versions of Guile / libc

[Julian Graham]

Hi guys,
 I was unable to build the latest release of Greg (1.4?) from source.
It seems to me that there are three problems, the last of which is
fatal -- some #includes are missing from the source; Greg depends on
some long-deprecated Guile APIs; the Makefiles do not play well with
the libc and ld included in Ubuntu edgy, which is what I'm using.
Full "make" output included below.


Regards,
Julian
