Looks like the same problem as outlined here:
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2017-05/msg00033.html>.

Basically the compiler’s memory consumption seems to be proportional to
the size of the input file, when I think it should be proportional to
the complexity of the most complex top-level expression given that Guile
doesn’t do inter-procedural analysis.

(The failure you get on 2.0 seems to be another story: apparently we’re
hitting a limitation somewhere in the object format.)
