Hello,

I'm working on building guile 2.2.4 for Cygwin/Windows. I have now resolved a couple of library issues, and have run into a problem while running the make check tests.

Environment:

Cygwin

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 7.4.0
Copyright © 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

guile-2.2.4

gc-8.0.4

Error message:

/bin/sh: line 5: 42231 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) top_srcdir="../.." srcdir="." builddir="." CHARSETALIASDIR="/tmp/guile-2.2.4/lib" GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 "../../meta/build-env" ${dir}$tst

Analysis:

This is the only error message I get while running make check. The system tend to hang on some random test, but after a cntrl-C reports that one out of 36 tests failed. I do not know enough about your tests to be able to diagnose this.

Best regards,
