compilation problems

OK, I have gone back and built the g-wrap-0.9.4 suite again. Looking very
closely at the "make install" phase I discover that the g-wrap-rs file is
never copied into /usr/local/libexec, which is where /usr/local/bin/g-wrap
expects it to be. I have therefore copied it in by hand.

I then returned to gnucash-1.5.0, did a "make distclean; ./configure; make"
and ther results though different, are still an incomplete build:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I..   -I../engine   -I../gnome
-I../register    -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H
-I/usr/local/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/gnome-xml -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/local/include -c gfec.c
FLAVOR=gnome g-wrap --api c --target guile gnc.gwp
ERROR: In expression (cdr lst):
ERROR: Stack overflow
make[3]: *** [gnc.c] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/src/gnucash/gnucash-1.5.0/src/guile'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/src/gnucash/gnucash-1.5.0/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/src/gnucash/gnucash-1.5.0'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I think that I better take a much closer look at the g-wrap suite, as this
appears to be the base of the problems...
