Thanks,

Just to let you know I still exist

Got bigloo built and down to just one tiny bark when it runs the 'recette'
test.  The package has its own built in libgc; so building and installing
gives you bigloo and libgc.

The bad news is that it is not a Debian package.

Will start cleaning it up now.  If I can get rid of the last barf; so that it
produces identical results under the Hurd and Linux, I may be offering you
another patch :-)

PS
I think I have sorted out the signals, because it finds the bottom of the
stack be working down until it gets a SIGSEGV or BUS fault.
