I just got the 3.0.8 tarball and did a build on Fedora 35 x64. I used no parameters to 'configure', except for '--prefix'. Then I did 'make' and 'make check'. One test failed. The output ends with: wrote `/home/tgphelps/guile-3.0.8/cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/home/tgphelps/guile-3.0.8/test-suite/standalone/test-stack-overflow.go' allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory PASS: test-stack-overflow wrote `/home/tgphelps/guile-3.0.8/cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/home/tgphelps/guile-3.0.8/test-suite/standalone/test-out-of-memory.go' GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 134742016 bytes GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 134217728 bytes GC Warning: Out of Memory!
