Neil, you also compile with pre-7.x, no? Do we need to support this?
Just wondering if it wouldn't be easier to simply require 7.x without
workarounds. It seems debian is the sticker here..
Given how much everyone seems to keep saying that you should really
use 7.x, I think it would be a good idea for configure and/or some
file including <gc/gc.h> to check the version (if possible), and
reject 6.x. Unless guile *will* work reliably with 6.8, in which case
people should stop saying such things. :-)

P.S. I'd offer to write up a patch, but I'm in that annoying in-
between state of having a new job (yay!), but not having disclaimer
paperwork in to the FSF yet (boo!)...
