[gambit-list] Trouble building gambit

Dear Marc & gambiteers,

I am having trouble trying to build gambit from HEAD (commit 75ce77b)
on Linux x64 (Ubuntu 17.04).

These steps work well:
./configure ; make -j4 latest-release ; ./configure --enable-single-host

This step fails:
make -l4 from-scratch

First, I get:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/fare/src/scheme/gambit/lib'
../gsc-boot -:~~bin=../bin,~~lib=../lib,~~include=../include -f -c
-check -prelude "(##include\"header.scm\")" _io.scm
../gsc-boot: error while loading shared libraries: libgambit.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
makefile:167: recipe for target '_io.c' failed

If I instead use:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD make -l4 from-scratch

then gsc-boot can see libgambit.so in the current directory and
compile _io.c, but I get this failure in _num.c:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/fare/src/scheme/gambit/lib'

Am I doing something wrong? Is some inline definition for << or >> missing?

Also, is there a guide to interactive development with Gambit? I admit
that coming from the Common Lisp world, I'm a bit spoiled by SLIME.
