What's expected: information about the car procedure will be printed to the REPL

❯ pwd
/home/nafarlee/Desktop

❯ which gxi
/opt/gerbil/bin/gxi

❯ env | grep GERBIL

❯ gxi
Gerbil 7a453ba4 on Gambit v4.9.7-6-g64f4d369
> ,(h car)

How was Gerbil built and installed? Is it from some package manager? If homebuilt, what script or options did you use?

These answers likely aren't that relevant given @drewc's analysis in the Gerbil Support channel, but I will provide them for posterity.

Built from source using the standard ./configure && make -j4 && sudo make install. Here is some system information:
