bug#19233: Errors building guile on Armv7

[John Darrington]

I downloaded the snapshot from http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17611516

and ran into the following problems:

My system does not have a libc with threading, so I configured guile and
dependencies with --without-threads (or --disable-threads as appropriate).


I get the following error:


Throw without catch before boot:

Error while printing exception:

gdb suggests that the problem is that iconv fails and sets the error message: 
"Cannot find thread-local variables on this target"


gdb log is attached.  config.log is also attached.
