I don't.
It's not Scheme, but in case it's relevant, Emacs is doing ahead-of-
time compilation o

Do you know of any Scheme using libgccjit?
BTW, I tried to build mainline with --enable-coverage to see which code
is executed with -foptimize-sibling-calls, but bootstrap fails with

Perhaps there's a case for a frontend attribute for this.

Thanks. I thought a front-end warning mi

Perhaps "incorrect" was the wrong word. If sibling-call optimization is
not done, then perhaps the program will blow out the stack, which would

I'm puzzled.
The fundamental rule of optimization is that it doesn't change the (defined)
semantics of the program. How is it possible to write valid C that is correct
only if some optimization is done?
In other words, if it matters whether an optimization is done or not, that
suggests to me
The Gambit Scheme->C compiler has an option to generate more efficient
code if it knows that all tail and sibling calls in the generated C code
will be optimized. If gcc does not, however, optimize a tail or sibling
call, the generated C code may be incorrect (depending on circumstances).
So
