[racket] Compiling Racket on Maemo 5

  I could already find a work around for compiling with *--enable-foreign*!
I have just replaced the original /*libffi */source tree by its patched 
version
from /*Debian repository*/.

The compilation on my Nokia N900 run without problems
until I got the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
...

a - type.o
a - vector.o
a - foreign.o

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I will also give the latest Racket sources a try!!
By the way it would be helpful if there is a pointer
to latest sources of Racket on the web site!

Regards
Nik

PS: It would be also helpful if the build process
     could take advantage of the available libraries
     on a platform. In this way it will take us the burden
     of compiling the same libraries again!
     E.g., on Maemo there are already binary packages
     for libgmp, libffi and libgc.
