gst-browser-error
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 run 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 run 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 run 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
* parabola - pass - git source v3.2.92
* fedora 24 - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5
* fedora 24 - pass - git source v3.2.92
* ubuntu 16.04 - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5
* ubuntu 16.04 - fail - git source v3.2.92
* opensuse tumbleweed - pass - 'smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5
* opensuse tumbleweed - fail - git source v3.2.92

================ DEBIAN9/TESTING BINARY PACKAGE ================
on debian 8/testing (next v9) using the 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package from the 'testing' repos various errors are produced - none of which were reproducible - following is the output of the 'gst-browser' program run seven times consecutively - two of the seven times the program launches successfully - five times it exits immediately - and each of the seven attempts produced a distinct result

Thank you @bill-auger - confirming that the comment on the mailing list did work for me (debian bullseye), the class browser builds and launches successfully when built from source using your configure options.
