[gambit-list] build problems with current master

Hello,

me trying to compile the current github master branch of gambit using
the gambit 0.9.3 release fails.

In order to do so I linked the gsc from the release into the checkout as
gsc-boot and tried both "make from-scratch" and "make".

First issue was easy to work around: in gambit.h.in
___USE_C_RTS_CHAR_OPERATIONS is never defined and used to conditionally
compile ___CHARALPHABETICP and friends.  I simply added a #define for
it, though I wonder: how would you build the master at all?

No good chance for me to work around the second issue:  Compiling
_num.scm fails with:

    ***ERROR IN c#macro-expand -- define-prim can't inline ##bignum.adigit-bitwise-andc1!

How could I get around?

Thanks

Jörg
