The thing returned by gh_define is the vcell that has been defined,
not the object that you passed to gh_define.  You probably want to do
something like this:

    gh_define (symbol, object);
    scm_set_object_properties_x (object,
                                 scm_string_to_symbol(
                                  gh_str02scm("documentation")),
                                 gh_str02scm("some text"));
