I believe this was fixed by
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?id=aff9ac968840e9c86719fb613bd2ed3c39b9905c>
(see the neat explanation at
<https://wingolog.org/archives/2024/09/26/needed-bits-optimizations-in-guile>).

Confirmed by CI: <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/1667191>.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
