[plt-scheme] trunk r8997 failed to build on vanilla x86 Linux; probably two unrelated problems

Linux never 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I did a clean build -- by which I mean I deleted all files that
weren't in the repository.

Then I did "cd src; ./configure; make all install".

I saw 

    make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/plt-trunk/src'

On a hunch, I used a v371 version of PLT to remove the development
link to my own package (since I've seen this cause trouble before):

        $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/src/plt-v3/bin planet -u offby1 offby1.plt 1 0

I then reran "make all install", and it got lots further; it then died like this:
