Guile failed to build for me, I forget what system, either Irix or OpenBSD, for
the following reason.
It goes and looks for some functions, like isnan or isnanf I think,
with autoconf:
compiles this program:
#include
int main()
{
do something with isnan
}
it compiles ok.
Later on it builds some similar code of its own, but this time with -Werror and
either -Wall or -Wmissing-prototypes. The function in question is not prototyped
in math.h, nor whatever else is #included.
I worked around by removing -Werror from the Makefile.
This seems like a general class of bug -- configure one way, build another.
(That sounds like a user error, but isn't, it is what is done automatically.)
Later on the build core dumps.
I haven't figured out why.
