That'd be fine too.

What about the -export-dynamic switch to the linker, as mentioned in
the same message -- was that issue resolved in the meantime?

Done (I hope).  It's not exactly ‘git format-patch’, but it should be
close enough.

For my convenience, I prefer to prepare a real ChangeLog entry, then
copy that to a commit message, which leaves a ChangeLog file around.
May I add ChangeLog to libguile/.gitignore, so that ChangeLog is not
flagged by "git status"?
