Not that I can see on the mailing lists; you might ask Rob Browning if there has been some traffic I didn't see. My belief is that this will not be a simple fix; the ia64 has a weird stack structure and Scheme's call/cc is not trivial to implement on weird stack machines. It took lots of work upstream to get scm to work on ia64, and I think this is the same thing, since guile is a clone of scm in its origins. Thomas
