He posted to guile-devel@, so I don't know whether you missed it, in any case it's here in the archive [1]. FWIW, Matt worked around it by removing "-Oresolve-primitives" from the compile options. I don't know whether there's a bug report on it already. Cheers [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2019-12/msg00011.html -- tomás
