This line was mangled by your mailer, I think (missing backquote,
newline inserted).

Furthermore, if you’re linking C++ code, then you should link with g++,
not gcc, and omit -lstdc++.

Oooh, I finally got your point about SCM_NEWSMOB.  It introduces a
direct dependency from your app on libgc, which can require -lgc,
depending on the linker.

I’ll look into it.  I think the GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER_NO_ORDER call
should be buried in a function akin to scm_i_new_smob_with_mark_proc.

Thanks,
