This looks like a problem with libgc; can you provide information about
your platform (operating system version, processor architecture) and the
libgc version you (or rather Guile's build process) are using?  The
output of "pkg-config --modversion bdw-gc" would provide the latter
information.

I think libgc 7.1 is minimum, but I have experienced problems also with
that version (although the problems were much more subtle, i.e. no
compilation issues); libgc 7.2alpha5 works fine on my system (Debian
sid, amd64).
