I just cloned the Gambit GitHub repo & tried to build according to the instructions in INSTALL.txt but got errors running `make', after `make bootclean'. Please see details below. (Output has been truncated for brevity)
This reminds me of the issue Bradley Lucifer reported, albeit for Mac OS X: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.scheme.gambit/5876
