I think time has come to integrate this patch as it's proved to fix
things for various people. I tried it on several platforms, always
compiling with the default flags, i.e., `-O2'. Here's what I got[*]:
* i686-pc-linux-gnu, GCC 4.2.4
;; Stack calibration: (x1 x2 y1 y2 m c) = (170 690 170 690 1.0 0.0)
* x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GCC 4.1.2
;; Stack calibration: (x1 x2 y1 y2 m c) = (170 690 41 181 0.269230769230769
-4.76923076923077)
* sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu, GCC 4.1.3

* ia64-unknown-linux-gnu (itanium2), GCC 4.1.2
;; Stack calibration: (x1 x2 y1 y2 m c) = (170 690 10 50 0.0769230769230769

`pre-inst-guile' reaches the REPL in all cases, except on IA64 where it
stack-overflows (further investigation needed).
I'll comment the patch itself later on.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
[*] I really need to find a way to automate this. If anyone knows of
existing tools that would facilitate it (connecting to each machine,
running `configure', `make', etc.), please let me know. Otherwise,
I guess it wouldn't be too hard to write a script to do that.
