Hi,

Guix’s Guile 3.0.8 package cross-compiled to i586-pc-gnu (GNU/Hurd)
crashes when starting (3.0.7 was fine):

The build process of Guile changed upstream to become multi-stage, in
support of cross-module inlining.  A possibility is that that somehow
ends up generating .go files with the wrong word size (although that
should prevent them from being loaded).  Or maybe it’s some interference
with the native Guile that’s being used.

Hi,

Ludovic Courtès <ludo <at> gnu.org> skribis:

> #11 0x010b68dc in range_error (bad_val=bad_val <at> entry=0x6, min=0x2, max=max <at> entry=0xfffffffe) at numbers.c:6611

> #13 scm_to_uint32 (arg=0x6) at numbers.c:6787

Turns out we had SCM_SIZEOF_LONG == 8 (instead of 4, since i586-pc-gnu
is a 32-bit platform), as Andy hinted on IRC yesterday.

Fixed in Guile commit 24b30130ca75653bdbacea84ce0443608379d630.

Ludo’.
