Compiling from GIT

I was able to fix this problem by copying the files to m4 (cp 
/usr/local/share/aclocal/* m4/). For some reason, autoconf does not copy them.

However, when compiling it, and also guile-1.9.15, I get segmentation fault (as 
below) in the compiler (Mac OS X 10.6.6 x86-64 Xcode 3.2.5). This does not 
happen in a somewhat older guile-1.9.8.
