Also specially recognize GhostScript, which is a frequent thing to clash with Gambit.

I would make it a diagnostic always run (with redirected output) after a single compilation call (of e.g. `gxc`), and explicitly called before by a build script when a build...

I suggest that Gerbil should prepend "Gerbil " to its version string, which would make it easier to distinguish Gerbil from GhostScript.
