Yes I don't understand that, there should have been an error from gcc or
ld.

Hm, current git compiles without warnings on various fedora, debian, and
macos boxes that I have. There are some info warnings IIRC, yes.

Yes, that is this:

I have it on my list.

That would seem to indicate that your make with libgc 6.8 partially
succeeded, then you made with 7.1, with strange results? Something like
that. Make sure that your libguile is properly linked to the right
libgc.

Sorry this is causing you so much trouble, it's not normally this much
work...

Perhaps do an strace to see what it's trying to do?

Heh :) That's because much of Guile is implemented in Scheme, including
the compiler -- so when you do a fresh checkout you have to bootstrap
the compiler from the interpreter, which can be quite slow. We'll be
trying to speed this up, but unfortunately this is how it is right now.

Andy
