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

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

guile-2.0.5 fails to build on Solaris x86/x86_64 with native cc or c99
due to compilation errors, but succeeds with gcc.  Unfortunately, no
gcc-4.x compiler release has ever built successfully on this platform,
so only the Sun/Oracle supplied /usr/sfw/bin/gcc (3.4.3) is available.
With it, compilation succeeds, but there are two test failures:

Assertion failed: SCM_I_IS_THREAD (data.thread), file threads.c, line 1135
/bin/bash: line 5: 18970 Abort                   (core dumped) srcdir="."
builddir="." CHARSETALIASDIR="/local/build/gcc/guile-2.0.5/lib"
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 "../../meta/uninstalled-env" ${dir}$tst

/bin/bash: line 5: 19769 Segmentation Fault      (core dumped) srcdir="."
builddir="." CHARSETALIASDIR="/local/build/gcc/guile-2.0.5/lib"
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 "../../meta/uninstalled-env" ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test-unwind

With only one usable compiler, it is impossible to tell whether the
failure is due to a compiler code-generation error, or an error in
guile itself.  That, in my view, is a dreadful situation to be in.

I can supply tracebacks, if you folks can supply, or show how to find,
the commands that were actually executed that produced the test
failures.
