Maybe the GC does not work at all under ia64 at the moment, but I
don't know for sure.  Do you remember the GC problems with Sizzle
under that architecture?  Guile uses a similar GC mechanism as Sizzle
(or rather, Sizzle uses one like Guile's), so maybe it does not work
until there is a way to flush all registers to the stack.

If this (borken setjmp/longjmp) is not an issue anymore, please let me
know.  But I recommend to keep that in mind.
