This did not help, the tests still failed.

On a linux-i386 machine that experiences the test failures, I have
manually confirmed that guardians do indeed work as documented:
$ ./pre-inst-guile --version | head -n1
Guile 1.6.8
$ ./pre-inst-guile
guile> (define g2 (make-guardian))
guile> (g2 (list (string-copy "g2-garbage")))
guile> (define g3 (make-guardian))
guile> (g3 (list (string-copy "g3-garbage")))

guile> (do ((i 1 (1+ i)))
((> i 100)
(set! saved (g3)))
(apply + (iota 10)))
guile> saved
("g3-garbage")
guile> (set! saved #f)
guile> (do ((i 1 (1+ i)))
((> i 100)
(set! saved (g3)))
(apply + (iota 10)))
guile> saved
#<greedy guardian 0x90f36f0 (reachable: 0 unreachable: 1)>
guile> (saved)
("g2-garbage")
guile> (saved)
#f
which covers the same area as the failing tests. The patch to relax
the tests makes the test-suite pass, and is ok for inclusion.
Andreas, I am not a DM, will you take care of this again?
Regards
