I did a Scheme build on my AMDx86-64 machine.  It works and it
correctly loads and dumps a live scmutils.  I still don't know how to
make the tar that is used in the make-scmutils script.

I tried to make an i386 version on an ubuntu laptop, using the same
basic construction method.  It made a working Scheme, but it fails to
know about the X windows.  Edwin does not want to come up in a
display, so it comes up in a terminal.  More evidence -- it fails to
run my init file -- it reports: 

"Evaluation error: The primitive x-window-set-foreground-color is not
implemented in this version of Scheme."

The method of construction was:

     cd /usr/local/scheme-i386-build

     git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mit-scheme.git

     cd mit-scheme/src

     ./Setup.sh

     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/scheme-i386/usr/local

     make all

     #Save old version
     mv /usr/local/scheme-i386/usr /usr/local/scheme-i386/usr-old
     mkdir /usr/local/scheme-i386/usr
     mkdir /usr/local/scheme-i386/usr/local

     make install
