Let's see... Etch seems to have glibc 2.3.6, according to
packages.debian.org, and:

$ nm /usr/local/lib/larceny-0.961/larceny.bin| grep ' U .*@@' | tr @ \  | sort -k3 | tail -5
         U dlopen  GLIBC_2.1
         U fclose  GLIBC_2.1
         U fopen  GLIBC_2.1
         U __ctype_b_loc  GLIBC_2.3
         U __stack_chk_fail  GLIBC_2.4

A quick check on the Web suggests invoking GCC with -fno-stack-protector
as one way to prevent that last symbol from being used; I have not
sought to confirm or deny that hypothesis, nor the related question of
whether that's the only issue preventing use on older systems.
