OK, I can reproduce this on partch.debian.org now
(https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=partch):

  (jessie_powerpc-dchroot)rlb <at> partch:~/guile-2.0-2.0.11+1$ ./check-guile fractions.test
  Testing /home/rlb/guile-2.0-2.0.11+1/meta/guile ... fractions.test
  with GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/home/rlb/guile-2.0-2.0.11+1/test-suite
  Running fractions.test
  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2 1/2) (sqrt 2))
  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2.0 1/2) (sqrt 2))

and poking around I see:

  (jessie_powerpc-dchroot)rlb <at> partch:~/guile-2.0-2.0.11+1$ meta/guile

Please let me know if I can help.
