Right, but since a by-hand build on merulo in the unstable chroot
succeeded, and the buildd build failed, both without slib installed, I
don't think slib is the likely culprit, at least not slib alone.

The most likely problem I can think of, if the failure actually is
related to having guile-1.6-libs installed, is that the Guile build
(or rather make check) is somehow picking up the /usr versions of the
Guile libraries or modules in preference to the build tree versions,
and those versions are somehow broken, at least with respect to the
build tree code.  This would definitely be a bug in Guile.

I've never used pbuilder.  Does it require root, or is it possible to
try it via fakeroot, fakechroot, or similar?

Interesting.
