Thanks for the info. However this seems to be not the only problem.
I tried the execstack method on the mentioned programs without
any success.
Or try to approach it in another way:
The official binary of mit-scheme 7.7.1 (http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme)
segfaults if called with 'scheme -compiler'. In this case the scheme main
program load a 'band' called compiler.com, which contains executable code.
Could somebody investigate this issue? I am not that familiar with problems
like this.
