Test fail in Guile-1.8.5

[Nick Cripps]

Hi,
I'm trying to build guile-1.8.5 but, when running make check, one of
the tests (test-asmobs) fails. The output of the tests is below.

I have encountered the same problem on two different machines with
different distributions (gentoo and a clean install of debian on a VM)
so, I am inclined to think that this is a bug in the package or the
test suite. Steps to reproduce are below. Could you confirm whether
this is a bug and, if so, whether it is fixed in later versions?

Many thanks,
Nick Cripps


Steps to reproduce:
(tested on debian 5.0.7)
(sudo apt-get install gcc make libtool libgmp3-dev)
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf guile-1.8.5.tar.gz
cd guile-1.8.5
./configure && make && make check


Output of tests:
...
