Note that `-Wall' itself is harmless, it's `-Werror' that causes the
compilation to stop.  You can just as well use:

  ... ./configure --disable--error-on-warning

which removes `-Werror'.

The `guile-snarf-docs' scripts uses Guile, so it's an indication that
the newly built Guile doesn't work.  :-)

Can you try running "./pre-inst-guile" from the Guile build directory?

Also, can you provide a backtrace for the segfault?  Assuming GDB is
available on your platform, something like the following should work:

  $ cd /the/guile/build/dir
  $ gdb libguile/.libs/lt-guile core
  (gdb) bt full

It would also be interesting to see the warnings issued by GCC -Wall.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo'.
