Wellllllllll, it should not be so bad -- I mean this is really terrible
feedback, and no one should see that.

But that said, run it as meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile, break on
scm_ithrow, and then call scm_backtrace from with the breakpoint
handler.

Be on the lookout for a general solution, too; this error message is
terrible.
