Looks like guile was updated to 3.0.10 in Debian fairly
recently... managed to build on debian testing/trixie which still has
guile 3.0.9 and gcc 13 by default at the moment, which resolved the
tests/style.scm and tests/gremlin.scm test suite failures (...and
introduces issues with tests/nar.scm and tests/store.scm, but who is
really counting?)

This does not solve the problem for Debian, but at least that gives a
hint at where the problem lies... and obviously long-term guix should be
buildable with newer versions of gcc and guile... which could then be
backported to 1.4.0?
