Yes, that's what it prints.

2.95.2
Is the problem really platform specific, or does it occur on
several/most/all platforms? If so, then we could rather check for the
compiler version than to try to create a test case that on some platforms
works and on others doesn't. Even if we were using scm_ithrow as the
test, then it is just another test case which may work sometimes and
sometimes not.
(BTW: It's been a long time since the last gcc release, hasn't it? Not
that we guile folks were in a position to complain about infrequent
releases :-)
