Hi! guile-2.2.3 does not compile on NetBSD 8 and NetBSD-current. During build, it writes stuff like this for basically every file:
gmake[2]: Entering directory '/scratch/lang/guile22/work/guile-2.2.3/bootstrap' BOOTSTRAP GUILEC ice-9/eval.go ;;; WARNING: loading compiled file /scratch/lang/guile22/work/guile-2.2.3/prebuilt/64-bit-little-endian/ice-9/eval.go failed: ;;; Throw to key system-error with args ("load-thunk-from-memory" "~A" ("Permission denied") (13)) wrote `ice-9/eval.go' When I turn off PaX mprotect, the build succeeds. PaX mprotect is a security feature that forbids memory pages that are writable and executable, and some memory protection changes that would allow this. Other programs/libraries (e.g. libffi) needed to be fixed for this. Can you please fix this in guile-2.2.x? (guile-2.0.14 builds fine on such a system.) Thanks, Thomas
