It's good to have the patch inline to review. It looks fine to me but I
will punt to Neil or Ludovic for the final review. Also, thanks for
taking care of the mmap issue.

Guile never unmaps these files. I suppose it's possible, but if it is a
bug it's a Guile bug and not specific to the win32 side of things.

Odd, but your fix has no negative effects that I can see.

So, if you've gotten this far, you should be able to run ./meta/guile,
or ./pre-inst-guile (depending on how up-to-date your git is). If that
doesn't work then perhaps set this as the equivalent of ~/.guile:

  (debug-enable 'backtrace)
  (debug-set! depth 80)

and re-run guile; you should get a Scheme backtrace that you can paste
here. Try also ./meta/guile -c 1 or ./meta/guile -c '(display "foo")'.

Let us know how it goes!
