Yep, GCC 10 "breaks" the configure check to find the stack direction.
This makes Guile believe the stack grows up, which is of course plain
wrong. I was able to workaround this issue by disabling optimizations
for the configure check, see attached diff.

(For the technically interested: GCC 10 succeeds in rewriting a
particular tail call into jumps. This avoids stack frames from the
recursive call which the check relies on. Funnily enough, a comment
says: "If the code could be inlined, that might cause the test to give
an incorrect answer." - indeed.)
