bug#10790: [bug-guile] guile-2.0.5 test fails on Solaris x86/x86_64

[Andy Wingo]

Hi,

For some reason this mail went just to me instead of to the bug also.
For that reason I'm top-quoting all of it.  Anyway, we have had a couple
releases since this report, with lots of fixes.  Please open a new bug
for new build errors.  Thanks!

Andy
