+--enable-debug-freelist --- Enable freelist debugging.
+
+This enables a debugging version of SCM_NEWCELL(), and also registers
+an extra primitive, the setter `gc-set-debug-check-freelist!'.
+
+Configure with the --enable-debug-freelist option to enable
+the gc-set-debug-check-freelist! primitive, and then use:
+
+(gc-set-debug-check-freelist! #t)  # turn on checking of the freelist
+(gc-set-debug-check-freelist! #f)  # turn off checking
+
+Checking of the freelist forces a traversal of the freelist and
+a garbage collection before each allocation of a cell.  This can
+slow down the interpreter dramatically, so the setter should be used to
+turn on this extra processing only when necessary.
+
+--enable-debug-malloc --- Enable malloc debugging.
+
+Include code for debugging of calls to scm_must_malloc/realloc/free.
+
+Checks that
+
+1. objects freed by scm_must_free has been mallocated by scm_must_malloc
+2. objects reallocated by scm_must_realloc has been allocated by
+   scm_must_malloc
+3. reallocated objects are reallocated with the same what string
+
+But, most importantly, it records the number of allocated objects of
+each kind.  This is useful when searching for memory leaks.
+
+A Guile compiled with this option provides the primitive
+`malloc-stats' which returns an alist with pairs of kind and the
+number of objects of that kind.
