ia64-linux port

Hello list,

  I downloaded the ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.5.4.tar.gz and
applied the attached patch to the source tree.

$ make all check
Testing libguile/guile ...
with GUILE_LOAD_PATH=.:./test-suite
with LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/guile-1.5.4/srfi:

Totals for this test run:
passes:                 2116
failures:               0
unexpected passes:      0
expected failures:      17
unresolved test cases:  0
untested test cases:    0
unsupported test cases: 9
errors:                 0

PASS: check-guile
==================
All 1 tests passed
==================

This is amazing. All the bit failures disappeared.
The patch itself provides code for the garbage collection and the
continuations.

Yet the following warnings, when configured without any options:

gc_os_dep.c:1827: warning: unused variable `result'
gc_os_dep.c:1744: warning: `GC_find_limit' defined but not used
gh_data.c:128: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data 
type
../libguile/num2integral.i.c:91: warning: comparison is always true due to 
limited range of data type
../libguile/num2integral.i.c:64: warning: comparison is always true due to 
limited range of data type
../libguile/num2integral.i.c:91: warning: comparison is always true due to 
limited range of data type

Also I do not yet know about the unsupported testcases. How can I figure
out ?

Cheers,
