You’re right, there are 5 bootstrap tarballs.  I just put out these two
so you can try (and debug!) without rebuilding everything at home.

I’ll upload everything to alpha.gnu.org when it’s final, but currently
since the bootstrap Guile seems to have troubles, I just wanted to put
it out for others to test.

Yes.  And if you can get more verbose output than I did with strace,
then perhaps we’ll have additional clues.

I already reported a libgc bug, though I don’t think it relates to our
problem:
