that is a good idea. i will try to get a setup on another machine i can 
ssh to.

to compile guile 1.8.5 (release or snapshot-0923) on this i386 other 
machine, i need to apply this patch, found via google:
http://pastebin.com/m6226ece1
otherwise it stops leaving its long message, end of which is:
http://pastebin.com/m102992ca

it looks like this error happens at a very similar position as the 
segfault error.

im not too sure if the patch does a good thing, as i ran into strange 
problems with guile-gnome.
