Trick to get a proper backtrace, I added a breakpoint on
‘raise-exception’:

This is because under the hood liblz.so could not be loaded (but the
actual error is silently swallowed):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,m(lzlib)
scheme@(lzlib)> (lzlib-procedure int "LZ_decompress_open" '())
$1 = #f
scheme@(lzlib)> %liblz 
$2 = "liblz"
scheme@(lzlib)> (dynamic-link %liblz)
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure dynamic-link: file: "liblz", message: "file not found"

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
scheme@(lzlib) [1]> ,q
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Compare with a native build of guile-lzlib on GNU/Linux:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(lzlib)> %liblz
$2 = "/gnu/store/jqr5bz89gfwhxcndnhq333dyclvkq7ws-lzlib-1.11/lib/liblz"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Indeed, the cross-compilation build log shows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
checking dependency style of i586-pc-gnu-gcc... none
checking lzlib's file name... 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
