Subject: guile-2.0.5 issues on Solaris 11 x86_64
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 10:03:29 -0600 (MDT)

Solaris 11 x86_64 ships with native c89, cc, and c99, and has
an optional package that supplies gcc-3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802).
I have tried repeatedly to build many snapshots of the gc-4.x (x = 1, 2,
3, ..., 8) on this platform, and have never succeeded.  Thus, there
is a paucity of modern C compilers.

With gcc and either -O2 or -g compilation of guile-2.0.5, there is
a single test failure, arising from an internal assertion failure:

make[5]: Entering directory `/local/build/bare/guile-2.0.5/test-suite/standalone'
Assertion failed: SCM_I_IS_THREAD (data.thread), file threads.c, line 1135
/bin/sh: line 10: 23222: Abort
FAIL: test-system-cmds
...
==================================
1 of 27 tests failed
(1 test was not run)
Please report to bug-guile <at> gnu.org
==================================

When I attempt to build guile-2.0.5 with cc or c99, I get compilation
failures:

  CC     libguile_2.0_la-control.lo
"control.c", line 267: directive not honored in macro argument list

What can we do to eliminate the cause of the assertion failure,
and those compilation errors?

Hi Nelson,

I think this bug was fixed in 5556c17511ce19f6dfa9fc6cef0e12cf90282e9b,
shortly after 2.0.5.  I am provisionally marking this bug as done.
Would you mind trying with a snapshot?  We are due to release 2.0.6
shortly, so prompt feedback would be helpful.

Andy
