You=E2=80=99re right, there are 5 bootstrap tarballs.  I just put out these=
 two
so you can try (and debug!) without rebuilding everything at home.

I=E2=80=99ll upload everything to alpha.gnu.org when it=E2=80=99s final, bu=
t currently
since the bootstrap Guile seems to have troubles, I just wanted to put
it out for others to test.

Yes.  And if you can get more verbose output than I did with strace,
then perhaps we=E2=80=99ll have additional clues.

I already reported a libgc bug, though I don=E2=80=99t think it relates to =
our
problem:
