(hmm... resending this because it didnt work. hopefully i'm doing it right this
time.)
It looks like guile's compiler and optimizer could be replacing the `getuid'
and `setuid' calls with constant, compile-time values.
Here is a test I performed:
1. Make directory with 770 owned by root and the `guixbuild' group. When guile
is compiled with guix, I think the process is done under one of the
guixbuilder<XX> users who have the `guixbuild' group.
2. Run guile under my regular user.
3. Try to `ftw' that directory. ftw detects it as a readable directory and then
ends up throwing a "permission denied" error because it's not actually readable.
If I compile guile manually under my regular user and try ftw on a different
user, I observe the results that support my conclusion.
System info:
Guile 3.0.8.13-cc455
guix on amd64
