I was not aware of the dependency on glibc 2.4 that the newer gcc  
seems to be introducing.  I will investigate Jed's suggestion of using  
-fno-stack-protector to try to remove that dependency on glibc 2.4  
(Ticket #546).

I tried to replicate your problem building the heap, but that step of  
the build process worked on the copy of Debian Etch that I tried it  
out on.  I have included a transcript of the build in this email, to  
make it obvious which versions of the Larceny source, Mzscheme  
runtime, and the setup flags I used in the build, and also to make it  
clear which files are being generated by the build.  (The kind of  
symptoms that you described in his email can be caused by build  
artifacts from one Scheme system corrupting a build attempt under a  
different scheme system.)

If you continue to have issues with your build when following the  
steps transcribed below, I can post my VMware image for this Etch- 
based build online, so that you could compare its configuration with  
your own machine's configuration and figure out which is the  
significant difference here.
