I've made installation attempts for guile-1.5.6 on 13+ different UNIX
platforms, with a few successes (GNU/Linux systems), and several
failures, either of the build, or of parts of the test suite.  A brief
summary is given below; details, including full build logs, are
available on request.  Builds were done with the usual recipe

        ./configure && make all check install
