I have a guess: bytevector-u64-set! uses GMP functions to store a
64-bit value, but GMP doesn't yet support that on Windows, because it
thinks it can get away with the 'long' type for that, and 'long' is a
32-bit type on Windows, even in 64-bit builds.

I would suggest first to build a 32-bit Guile against a 32-bit GMP.
If that fails in the same way, then my guess is wrong ;-)
