[gambit-list] Avoid v4.6.8 on OS X

Gambit v4.6.8 was mistakenly compiled to use the "poll" system call instead of "select".  Unfortunately, on OS X the poll system call does not support ttys.  Reading a tty will never block.  This causes an idle gsi to use 100% CPU.

I'll be releasing v4.6.9 ASAP.
