Indeed. I can reproduce this in the sid chroot on merulo and after
some hacking, I've narrowed it down to a problem with Guile's
call-with-current-continuation (which is called by guile-library's
unit-test.scm[1]):
(define (foo)
(call-with-current-continuation
(lambda (return)
(return #t))))
guile> (foo)
Illegal instruction
I'm cc'ing upstream.
[1] Although Guile certainly needs to fix this bug, it looks like it
might be easy to rewrite the unit-test.scm methods without using
call-with-current-continuation, and at least with Guile, that
should make them notably more efficient.
Thanks
