mit-scheme 12.1-6 builds ok on Ubuntu 26.10. But 12.1-7 (and 12.1-2) do not.

I see that there were some significant build system changes in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mit-scheme/-/commit/9997d4431c3051
and I haven't tried isolating those changes to determine which patch
or config is responsible.

I see -Werror=lto-type-mismatch in the build log excerpt. Ubuntu build
with LTO enabled by default but Debian doesn't. If that's the cause,
then you could reproduce by adding this to the end of your
DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS line:
 optimize=+lto

Okay, I'll look into the LTO deal, check if it is still an issue with
12.1-12 and with the latest upstream development snapshot. But fair
warning: if it's a hassle I'll just disable it, because it won't matter for
performance with the native back-ends, and with the bytecode back-end
you're already giving away ×20 and I doubt LTO will make a difference
because the code's fast-path is already pretty well tuned. Meantime I
suggest you disable LTO in Ubuntu for mit-scheme.

Yes, the issue still happens with 12.1-12. And yes, I could set this
in Ubuntu or you could set it yourself to disable LTO for Ubuntu:

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all optimize=-lto

Notice that this -lto insead of +lto to force disable instead of force enable.

Thank you,

Changes:
 mit-scheme (12.1-13) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Fix declaration mismatches detected by LTO (closes: #1149534)
   * Add debian/BENCHMARKS.md and debian/src/benchmarks/, measuring what
     LTO is worth here: about 10% on interpreted code, 2% on compiled
     code, and 1-2ms more startup. Not a strong case for turning it on.
