Hi,

For me the build of the current master fails with:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. 
-I../lib -I../lib -pthread -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror 
-fvisibility=hidden -O3 -g -march=athlon-xp -MT libguile_la-strings.lo -MD 
-MP -MF .deps/libguile_la-strings.Tpo -c strings.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o 
.libs/libguile_la-strings.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
strings.c: In function ‘scm_string_append’:
strings.c:1300: error: ‘data’ may be used uninitialized in this 
function
make[3]: *** [libguile_la-strings.lo] Error 1

It is easy to disable -Werror or set the offending variable to NULL, but 
with my limited knowledge of Guile internals it seems that this 
uninitialized pointer is indeed passed to scm_i_make_string or 
scm_i_make_wide_string which do not seem to reserve space for it and 
even dereference the pointer. Might be just me, but it seems there is 
something weird going on here..
