It looks like maybe there is code in libguile/gc.c that is only compiled if 
functions don't previously exist (in bdw-gc i guess).. for some reason it's not 
catching it. The stock gcc compiler with FreeBSD 10.0-Current (4.2.1 i think) 
is complaining. Commenting out the function def GC_get_free_space_divisor in 
gc.c seems to fix it, but it hits some more similar issues.. Anyway I'm trying 
to build it now with gcc46 from ports, (which I was trying to avoid)... seems 
to be working, or spitting out warnings but no errors, made it past the 
libguile stuff. :) We'll see what happens.

Thanks
