I don't know what discussion you are referring to here; best to link. In any case, I don't understand the mechanism here, but I believe the point was to make it so that #include <libguile.h> would not pull in iconv headers. gen-scmconfig looks up the value of the constants for iconv conversion handlers, and writes them into scmconfig.h. Your patch undoes that. What problem are you working around here? > The other open issue is also a known one: the missing mmap() > function under Windows.

You know, not only do we not rely on MAP_SHARED -- I switched it to use PRIVATE, just now -- we didn't actually need mmap at all. I just changed it to use read(2) if mmap is not available, and it seems to work fine, just a little (5-10%) slower to start up. That should help our unfortunate friends working on Windows :) Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
