bug#14653: Test failure when building on Debian armel

[Andy Wingo]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the report and for following up, and sorry we dropped the
ball.  In the meantime there are newer libgc and Guile releases, and for
that reason I'm going to archive this report.  Please open a new one if
you have trouble with Guile 2.0.11 or 2.1.3.  Be sure to use an
up-to-date libgc as well.

Cheers,

Andy
