[plt-scheme] Problems compiling PLT scheme on Solaris

You're running Solaris on Sparc, right?

This wasn't a known problem. We recently stopped creating our own
builds for Sparc, and I guess that was the one platform we used to
build where the JIT is not supported. So, we overlooked this mismatch
in the implementation.

The problem is now fixed for the next version.

In the current version, you can work around it by adding definitions of
scheme_can_inline_fp_comp() and scheme_can_inline_fp_op() that just
return 0. (Add them to any C file in "plt/src/mzscheme/src", such as
"numcomp.c".)

Thanks for the report!
