Interesting.  It looks like

  prctl --unaligned=signal fakeroot debian/rules binary

still works in the merulo unstable chroot.

Certainly, but in this case, there's no reason that guile-1.6-libs
*should* be a problem.  If I were to add it to the Build-Conflicts,
that would just be speculative.  Of course if nothing else turns up, I
suppose we might be left with a speculative buildd run as our only
option, but I was hoping we might be able to identify the problem more
directly.

Also, above, I was just wondering about the likelihood that
guile-1.6-libs might be a problem, even though it shouldn't be.

Thanks for the help.
