Problems compiling guile on a Cobalt mips (qube 2)

[Dale P. Smith]

This is from cvs guile, around May 1st.

First off, even though AF_INET6 is defined, I don't relly believe there
is and real support for it. To get socket.c to compile, I #undef'ed
AF_INET6.  Also, uint32_t isn't defined anywhere, so I just used:

typedef u_int32_t uint32_t;

After those changes to socket.c, guile compiles and installs, but
segfaults when executed. Here is what it looks like with gdb:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/guile

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    at init.c:442
#10 0x400e24 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7ffffde4) at guile.c:76

Why is __libc_realloc being called with oldmem=0x2ade2954, while
scm_must_realloc has where=0x100260b8 ??


Here is the uname output and other stuff:

address@hidden libguile]$ uname -a

The next place I would go is to start digging in to libc.  Is there any
known problems with guile on glibc 2.0.7?
