Yes.

That's why I asked

   "Could anyone point out on what kind of systems gub is supposed to run?"

in an earlier message.

Yes.

No, strace fails to find libraries. But without your patch I executed

   strace -v -f -ff -s 1024 -o STRACE/linux-ppc_guile bin/gub --fresh 
linux-ppc::guile

You'll receive the relevant log and strace file in a separate mail.
