Hi there! Just in case anyone else is looking at this too, I just wanted to announce that I'm investigating why the Debian Guile 2.0.3 fails to pass 'make check' on ARM, as can be seen here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=guile-2.0. Now that there's a Debian package for Guile 2.0 - thanks Rob! - I couldn't resist trying to build it on my GTA04.
It all looks quite tractable - just complex interactions between when Guile's thread finalizer (on_thread_exit) runs, libgc's own finalizer/cleanup, and the fact that Guile's finalizer re-registers with the GC. Also I think I might be able to throw light on the longstanding threads.test hang (http://www.mail-archive.com/guile-devel@gnu.org/msg06007.html). When I hit that in GDB, there were only 3 threads known to GDB, but libgc's thread count was 4, and that will obviously cause libgc to hang. So, more soon, I hope. Neil
