It certainly did help, and I got Gambit built for Mac OS X, and for iOS 4.2, both for the simulator and the device.

Now I'm bogged down in trying to figure out the right sequence of operations and the right flags to use to build libraries from Scheme sources. I want to use the same sources to build a shared library for Mac OS X, and a static library for iOS.

So far, my extrapolations from the examples given in the Gambit manual yield only copious error messages. I'm sure the problem is that I simply haven't figured out the right magic set of flags for these targets, and that eventually I'll stumble onto them. But if you happen to know them off the top of your head and feel like typing them into a reply, I'd be grateful for the time saved.
