Excellent!  I guess that this was a libffi bug.

Please let us know the results of 'make check' when compiling with
llvm-gcc-4.2.  I'm especially curious to hear whether the bytevector
tests fail with that compiler as well.

In the directory where you built using GCC-4.7.0 (SVN), can you please
apply the following 'patch for bytevectors.test' and then, from the
guile-2.0.5 directory, run:

  ./check-guile bytevectors.test

and show us the output?

This is a shot in the dark, but I've also attached a patch that _might_
fix the bytevector problem.  After applying it, it should be sufficient
to simply run "make" again, and it shouldn't take long.  Let us know!

     Thanks,
       Mark
