The code in question does this:

    void
    scm_init_guile ()
    {
      struct GC_stack_base stack_base;
      
      if (GC_get_stack_base (&stack_base) == GC_SUCCESS)
        scm_i_init_thread_for_guile (&stack_base,
                                     scm_i_default_dynamic_state);
      else
        {
          fprintf (stderr, "Failed to get stack base for current thread.\n");
          exit (1);
        }
    }

As you can see we rely on libgc here, and so this is a libgc bug.  Can
you try a newer libgc, or if that still fails, bring it up on their
list?

Thanks,

Andy
