Greetings,

I finally got around to building bigloo 4.3b for Fedora this weekend.
I'm sorry to have taken so many months to do so, but the latest
released version of hop does not build successfully with 4.3b.  I
finally decided to update to the latest git snapshot of hop to unblock
the bigloo upgrade.

The build of bigloo 4.3b failed to pass its tests on 3 architectures
ppc64 (big endian), ppc64le (little endian), and aarch64.  In each
case, the failure was the same:

error.scm:
33.error(with-handler.11) fail: provided [(+inf.0 . +inf.0)], wanted [(a . b)]

If I am reading the code correctly, this seems to mean that division
by zero does not produce a math exception on those architectures.  Is
that a problem?  Should I simply disable that test on those 3
architectures, or does this imply that bigloo will not function
properly?

Thank you,
