Hello!

I had the same problem on PowerPC Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) some years  
ago with Guile version 2.2.2. Analogous to https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=157757173428256&w=2 
 I renamed the corresponding directory with (obviously MIPS based) 32  
bit big-endian pre-builds so that make needed an additional bootstrap  
step. Make built all GO files, which are all different from their  
correspondent prebuilt files. This time the build process succeeded  
and 'make check' also succeeded:

	Totals for this test run:
	passes:                 41137
	failures:               0
	unexpected passes:      0
	expected failures:      10
	unresolved test cases:  66
	untested test cases:    1
	unsupported test cases: 1
	errors:                 0

Today I created a variant of guile-2.2.2.tar.gz in which the prebuilt  
were substituted with my own versions. With this TAR file I started a  
new build. It is still building, which means that it did not fail at  
this early stage:

I'll continue these checks with more recent versions of Guile. And I  
am providing the proper prebuilt GO files.
