Hello!

My librebooted Thinkpad T400 has been giving me the same GC warning
for about 2 years now:

GC: Warning: pthread_getattr_np or pthread_attr_getstack failed for
main thread
GC Warning: Couldn't read /proc/stat
Welcome, this is GNU's early boot guile
Use --repl for an initrd REPL.

Loading kernel modules...


I system boots just fine, but I figured that I should mention this!

Thanks,

Joshua

Those warnings are annoying but harmless.  The second one is because
/proc is not mounted yet at this stage—it’s mounted later by this very
Guile process.  The first one I’m unsure.

We should probably just patch out these two warnings for the static
Guile packages used by the initrd.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
