I also tried building Guile 3.0.0 on Cygwin 3.1.x.  The failure comes from
trying to parse compiled .go files.

The last time that I had this sort of problem, it was because the
O_BINARY flag was dropped or missing when writing .go files, leading
to CR+LF characters in the compiled files.  And I diagnosed it by
byte-comparing Linux-compiled .go files with Cygwin-compiled .go
files, and by looking for CR+LF combinations in the compiled .go
files.

I don't know if that is what is happening here, but, I'll check that
next time I have a chance.

Thanks,
Michael
