I needed to debug a gsc-compiled file with gdb today, and it was fairly inconvenient that the .c file wasn't left around by compile- file in beta 21. I suggest that the .c file be left around for the various source tools that need it.

I have added a -keep-c option to gsc. I.e. you'll have to do:

gsc -keep-c foo

to compile foo.scm to foo.o1 and foo.c . That's still shorter than what it used to be, i.e.

gsc -dynamic foo

and

gsc foo

would be shorter still.

Why don't you want to keep the C file around by default?
