I figured out that it depends on the CFLAGS settings whether the test
fails or not.  I forgot to mention the flags since I use a generic
script to build most packages.  By the default "-O3 -march=i586
-fomit-frame-pointer" is used.  The strange thing is that other tests
fail when Guile 1.4 is built with "-g" or "-O", for example.  The
tests succeed when I unset CFLAGS.  No problems with Guile 1.6, no
matter which CFLAGS are used.

BTW, it seems that Guile 1.4 doesn't support DESTDIR fully.
