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
