Yes, you're right.  I've made another release (1.0.9), where I use

  (environment '(guile) '(bytestructures guile numeric-data-model))

for the 'base-environment' binding in case we're running on Guile.

It now gives me correct results locally (woe on me for not having
properly tested the previous one) so I think it should definitely work
when cross-compiling too, since the 'eval' is sure to be executed at
run-time and not compile-time...

Fingers crossed, I hope I don't waste your time this time!
