bug#71211: (No Subject)

[Attila Lendvai]

the reproducer still crashes on a recent x86_64, but i originally noticed this 
long ago (maybe a year even). back then i investigated an early crash in the 
boot, and i reached %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED, and made a TODO note to further 
investigate. then i forgot most of what happened, and recently i opened this 
bug report based on my note.

since then EXPRESSION->INITRD may have changed, because it now uses 
%GUILE-STATIC-INITRD, but it's created with the same MAKE-GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED 
that produces the faulty %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED, so they're essentially the 
same.

in short: the reproducer crashes both %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED and 
%GUILE-STATIC-INITRD on x86_64, and i believe that it crashes the same way in 
the early phase of the boot when/if it tries to enter the debugger.
