You are right, for some reason I was thinking of gc_os_dep.c as a header file and thinking that continuations.c and gc.c would see the definition. My change would break IA64 Linux but I didn't see that because I was testing on IA64 HP-UX where I didn't want IA64 defined anyway. > I haven't investigated carefully yet -- do you have any idea offhand > if the __ia64__ guarded bits in those files are absolutely Linux > specific?

The code might work for other OS's, the problem on HP-UX is that HP-UX made ucontext_t an opaque type and then provided access functions to get the information that guile is trying to access directly from ucontext_t. If the other OS's provide ucontext_t and let you access it directly the code might work there. > I can't recall if I already asked this, but could you re-try with > the 1.6.8-rc0 archive (or current 1.6 CVS)?

Given that things don't work with 1.6.8.rc0 even after changing __ia64__ to IA64 I think it is reasonable not to address this problem for 1.6.8. I'd like to get guile working at some point on the HP-UX IA64 platform but I don't know if that means getting the 1.6.* branch to work or if I should just look at the top-of-tree sources.
