I'm still seeing segfaults on rasbian on an rpi3. Have not tried buildroot yet.

That patch *did* fix a boatload of errors on arm, but this segfault is an unrelated problem I think. Only happens on arm though.

Here is a way to reproduce:

In the test-suite/standalone dir:
while GUILE_JIT_THRESHOLD=0 make TESTS=test-language check-TESTS; do :;done

And then:
../../meta/uninstalled-env ../../libtool --mode=execute gdb ../../libguile/guile core

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x76f505cc in scm_is_string (x=0x0) at strings.h:293
293 return SCM_HAS_TYP7 (x, scm_tc7_string);
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x76fe6010 (LWP 21616))]
