However, there’s quite a bit of Scheme code that needs access to POSIX functions now, notably the compiler. So a number of file system access procedures must be compiled for the compiler to work. With the patch I pushed, ./check-guile doesn’t even work because ‘readdir’ & co. are lacking. We could change this to compile them even with ‘--disable-posix’, but the problem is that there could be even more of them, which would defeat the whole point of ‘--disable-posix’, I guess. Thanks, Ludo’.
