The last correspondence I can find about SCM and Plan9 is from April
2002.

Is wait() being deprecated in Plan9?
Did you change it to "waitpid(-1, &wm, 0)", or something else?

I am not familiar with plan back in 2002, but it seems the functions changed specification.

wait(), fexp(), dirstat(), dirfstat() and dirwstat() because I was getting too many arguments

The following are the corresponding man files
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/2/wait
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/2/frexp
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/2/stat

The last update you sent did fix the errors I posted, however that was only a small portion
of the errors I was getting. I have attached the error file, incase you want to see the whole set 
of errors. I am using the build script below.

#! /bin/rc
# unix (plan9) script created by SLIB/batch Sun Jun 29 17:31:58 2008
# [-p plan9-8]
# ================ Write file with C defines
rm -f scmflags.h
echo '#define IMPLINIT "Init5e4.scm"'>>scmflags.h
echo '#define FLOATS'>>scmflags.h
echo '#define BIGNUMS'>>scmflags.h
echo '#define ARRAYS'>>scmflags.h
# ================ Compile C source files

# ================ Link C object files
8l -o scm continue.8 scm.8 scmmain.8 findexec.8 script.8 time.8 repl.8 scl.8 eval.8 sys.8 subr.8 debug.8 unif.8 rope.8

I have not been able to compile yet, so there could a few more problems.
I will look into it somemore later.

thanks
