bug#55344: ftw thinks readable directories are unreadable if "other" don

(hmm... resending this because it didnt work. hopefully i'm doing it right this 
time.)

It looks like guile's compiler and optimizer could be replacing the `getuid' 
and `setuid' calls with constant, compile-time values.

Here is a test I performed:
1. Make directory with 770 owned by root and the `guixbuild' group. When guile 
is compiled with guix, I think the process is done under one of the 
guixbuilder<XX> users who have the `guixbuild' group.
2. Run guile under my regular user.
3. Try to `ftw' that directory. ftw detects it as a readable directory and then 
ends up throwing a "permission denied" error because it's not actually readable.

If I compile guile manually under my regular user and try ftw on a different 
user, I observe the results that support my conclusion.

System info:
Guile 3.0.8.13-cc455
guix on amd64
