Upgrading libgc fixes the issue so it's presumably an API/ABI mismatch.

I get some compiler warnings after upgrading.  I'm appending them for
posterity but feel free to ignore them.

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you want more details or want me try
out something.

This comes (I think) from configuring Guile against one version of
libgc, then upgrading or downgrading libgc, and then running "make"
without reconfiguring.

Closing as not a bug.

I ran configure and make on a fresh clone so that can't have been it.

That said, some months have passed now and the system where I ran into
this issue has been upgraded wholesale.  I can't help you in tracking
it down further.
