Hi,
This is the configure line i used for gc

./configure --prefix=/usr --cplusplus --enable-threads=posix

maybe should have been

./configure --prefix=/usr --cplusplus --enable-threads=pth

I'm trying that now... then rebuilt guile. ( except i've already completely 
obliterated gcc4.2.1 on this machine.. now running 4.6.2 from source :) i'll 
catch it for sure on the next loop! )

Thanks,
