Unable to build guile-1.8.0 on AMD Opteron (Fedora Core 4).

[Steve Juranich]

I'm having some trouble with the 64-bit build to complete.

I ran the configure script with `--with-threads=pthreads' (along with
some other stuff to set up my paths).  The configure script ran
sucessfully, but when I type make, I eventually bump into the
following wall (while make is inside the libguile directory):

To my untrained eye, it looks like there's a bug in the
scripts/snarf-check-and-output-texi.  Can anybody tell me what's going
on and (better yet) how to get around it?

Thanks a bunch.

BTW: I have gotten it to build sucessfully on our 32-bit systems, and
this (ice-9 threads) stuff is *SUPER* cool.
