I've added this in amongst the other definitions in my changes to
`sconfig.h'.

I'm afraid not.

During the build (with no switching off of the JIT) I still get:

...
gmake[4]: Entering directory 
`/usr2/other/plt-5.0/src/SunOS-5.10-amd64/racket/gc2'
env XFORM_PRECOMP=yes ../racketcgc -cqu ../../../racket/gc2/xform.rkt 
--setup . --cpp "gcc -m64 -E -I./.. -I../../../racket/gc2/../include 
-DNEWGC_BTC_ACCOUNT  -DMZ_NO_ICONV -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 "  --keep-lines -o xsrc/precomp.h 
../../../racket/gc2/precomp.c
module name resolver: expected result of type <resolved-module-path>; given 
#<variable-code>
...
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

I am left with that `racketgcg' in my build directory. It has been built
with the JIT non (more precisely, without me making any effort to switch
JIT off).

When I run it on the command line, I get:

 > ./racket/racketcgc
Welcome to Racket v5.0 [cgc].
module name resolver: expected result of type <resolved-module-path>; given 
#<bad-value>
module name resolver: expected result of type <resolved-module-path>; given 
#<bad-value>

The error is printed twice on my terminal - for 1 error or 2, I'm not sure.

If I run:

 > ./racket/racketcgc --no-jit
Welcome to Racket v5.0 [cgc].

It all passes off quite smoothly.

 From what you've written, this behaviour seems to be what you would
expect.

Is there anything I can do to intercept `racketcgc' before it calls
whatever it calls to throw this error?
