scm for Debian
-----------------
Like many scheme interpreters, scm has some quirks:
- two-stage build process: first a minimal scmlit interpreter is created, and
then that is used in compilation of the final `scm` interpreter.
- uses `unexec` to load quickly (a la emacs and bash, historically). This
feature is only used on supported platforms (aka, glibc), and is likely to be
deprecated in glibc in the not too-distant future.
The upstream tests (`make check`) currently fail for the packaged binary,
because the `-F inexact` results in rounding error (to be expected).
