boot-9 `define' failure

[Golubev I. N.]

Version: 1.4
Platform: i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0.2
Configuration: gcc 2.95.3, --enable-shared --disable-static --with-modules

Any attempt to run `guile' terminates with `ERROR: Unbound variable:
noop'.  In gdb it appears that error happens in `(define return-it
noop)' in `ice-9/boot-9.scm'.  Scheme value is what is printed by
`scm_display' for value received by `scm_eval_x'.  File name is from
`scm_load_startup_files' source.

Is it ok that `scm_m_define' receives `(define return-it noop)' as `x'
arg?

gdb backtrace up to `scm_error' follows
