No progress - I haven't had much time to look at it, so it's still
stuck at the same place, raw_pre_gcl terminating with a memory fault.

I came to think about another special thing of OpenBSD - W^X (write
xor exec), which means that memory is either writable or executable,
never (or almost never?) both.  I don't understand much about such
things, and I haven't found much documentation.  What I've found is
this:  http://www.openbsd.org/papers/pacsec03/e/  What would that
imply about running GCL on OpenBSD?
