Those two examples compile fine.  I'll retest the original test files
the same way, and report back tomorrow, as I'm sodding off work for the
day. :)

Interesting to note that when I ported my test directory to an Ubuntu
7.10 desktop system - I got exactly the same compile errors as the AIX
box (unsurprising perhaps as it's running gcc 4.1.x).  I'll have to try
the full guile 1.8.3 code there too, and see if I can spot the config
differences (assuming it builds there).
