as an update - the issue is not specific to debian and it is not clear that
the problem lies in gnu-smalltalk - the same versions of gst-browser run
fine on some distros but not on others
================ SUMMARY ================
* gst-browser fails to launch on debian, ubuntu - neither from binary
packages nor compiled from git source
* gst-browser runs as expected on parabola from the both binary packages
and compiled from git source
* gst-browser fails to launch on fedora from binary package but runs as
expected when compiled from git source
* gst-browser runs as expected on opensuse from (un-maintained) binary
packages but fails to launch when compiled from git source
* the REPL appears to be working correctly in all cases
versions<->platforms tested:
* debian 8 stable - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.4
* debian 8 testing - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5
* debian 8 testing - fail - git source v3.2.92
* parabola - pass - 'smalltalk' binary package v3.2.92
