That's a neat trick; changed to

                             (string-append
                              all
                              (object->string
                               '(when (string-ci= "GNU"
                                                  (vector-ref (uname) 0))
                                  (throw 'unresolved)))))))))

Sorry, no!  I was kinda hoping this would resolve itself somehow, I
think.  Let's make sure there's a bug report if we still need this
after Josselin's work.

Ok, good to know.

Thanks!
