Well, I must be really unlucky, since 4.0 has never correctly compiled
C code generated by the Gambit-C 4.0 beta Scheme->C compiler. It's
true that about once a month somebody fixes something that gets rid of
another code generation problem, but I'll consider 4.0 "close to
release quality" when I can start testing code generation quality and
compiler run times rather than code generation correctness.

PS: If anyone can tell me which version, if any, of gdb on either x86
linux, sparc solaris 9, or MacOS 10.3.6, can give me accurate debug
information for code compiled by 4.0 with options
FLAGS_OBJ = -O1 -fno-math-errno -fschedule-insns2 -fno-trapping-math
-fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC
I would really appreciate it.
