I wondered if the implementation of the C function 'ceil' is buggy,
so I tried the following (spoiler: 'ceil' doesn't seem to be the issue,
or I need another test case:

Run "guix build --system=i686-linux -e (@@ (gnu packages commencement) guile-final) --keep-failed".
In the build directory, write to a file "test.c":

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int
main(void)
{
  double x;
  double y;
  if (scanf("%lf %lf", &x, &y) < 0) /* < 0 is actually incorrect here */
    return 1;
  if (printf("%lf/%lf=%lf\n", x,y, x/y) < 0)
    return 1;
  if (printf("ceil(%lf/%lf)=%lf\n", x,y, ceil(x/y)) < 0)
    return 1;
  return 0;
}

Run ((exact->inexact 10/7) = 1.4285714285714286 on both master and core-updates):

$ gcc -Wall -Wextra -lm test.c -o test
$ echo "130.0 1.4285714285714286" | ./test
130.000000/1.428571=91.000000
ceil(130.000000/1.428571)=91.000000

On master, the output is:
130.000000/1.428571=91.000000
ceil(130.000000/1.428571)=91.000000
(idem)

Greetings,
Maxime.
