I don't seem to have received that message.

Taking it that you did use up to date toolchain then that is rather
interesting that guile-2.0 built for you.  I ran a test rebuild a
week or two ago and it failed.

Maybe I should try again, but if it fails for me again that would
raise issues of:

- UP versus SMP since I test built on an SMP system.

- sbuild environment.

I will set a test rebuild going again soon and report back.

Yes, built against up to date sid.
