[plt-scheme] Problem compiling PLTScheme

Hi all,

For those using Gentoo I'm sure you all know about bug 32003, a
compilation problem with DrScheme:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32003

However a strange thing is happening, I'm trying to solve the bug and
I've downloaded plt-205.src.x.tar.gz to my home dir and I did:
tar -xvzf plt-205.src.x.tar.gz ; cd plt/src; ./configure
--prefix=/home/pmatos/plt-205; make ; make install

It worked great and I wondered, hell, why is the ebuild (gentoo's script
for automatic installation) not working if it does exactly the same
thing so I did:
pmatos at euler pmatos $ cd
pmatos at euler pmatos $ rm -Rf plt-205
pmatos at euler pmatos $ rm -Rf plt
pmatos at euler pmatos $ tar -xvzf plt-205.src.x.tar.gz ; cd plt/src;
./configure --prefix=/home/pmatos/plt-205; make ; make install

so that I were able to try it out once again and this time the error
showed up just like in the bug report:
...
setup-plt: Installing ProfessorJ: libs java lang
setup-plt: Done setting up
setup-plt:
setup-plt: Error during Compiling .zos for mzc
(/home/pmatos/plt-205/collects/compiler)
setup-plt:   private/compiled/const.zo: read (compiled): ill-formed code
(bad count: 33178 != 33179, started at 12)
setup-plt: Error during Compiling .zos for mzc private
(/home/pmatos/plt-205/collects/compiler/private)
setup-plt:   compiled/const.zo: read (compiled): ill-formed code (bad

make[1]: *** [copy-finish] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pmatos/plt/src'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Strange isn't it? Do you have any idea of what might be causing this?

Best regards,

                So, he wrote it all in Lisp!
