That's quite odd. The error message you're getting is the result of
Verrazano not being able to run GCC-XML properly. Try this:

Go into verrazano/testsuite/cairo/generate.lisp, and add a "t"
argument to the end of the call to create-binding (after the
:cffi-backend argument). This will enable debug mode (hmm, I should
really make that a keyword argument, shouldn't I?) Anyway, try
running:

"lisp -load testsuite/cairo/generate.lisp"

Again. When it fails, you'll have a file called /tmp/vzntemp.cpp. Try running:

"gccxml -fxml=/tmp/vzntemp.xml /tmp/vzntemp.cpp"

That should fail, and that will give you an idea of what exactly is
the problem. Perhaps you don't have write access to /tmp? If that's
the case, you can change the "/tmp" in generate.lisp to whatever
temporary directory you want to use. On the other hand, if it does
work, then there are some deeper problems. I don't think its a GCC-XML
version problem, because I use GCC-XML 0.60 to test the Windows port.
By the way, what's your system configuration (distro, compiler, etc?)
