Please update to the new release.
Thanks.

Apparently we're still stuck on 3.0.9 because 3.0.10 doesn't build on i686: commit c28588 ("Fix FTBFS and rebase to version 3.0.10") on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/guile30. But I was unable to find the logs regarding those failed builds. Are they still available?

In the mean time: would it be feasible to (temporarily) drop the i686 builds (say, with "ExcludeArch: %{ix86}")?

Please note that both PHP and Java stopped shipping i686 builds altogether: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/php_no_32_bit and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_i686_JDKs. So there's precedent here.

It seems strange to me, in Guile's sources I see that support for i686 is there, and in the NEWS file it doesn't say anything about the end of support for i686. Also I see that Gentoo has the build for i686.
Thanks.

It's been four weeks since my comment #2 and, more importantly, over year since 3.0.10 was released. @v.pupillo: should we start the procedure described in the "Non-responsive maintainer policy" (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers)?

Ok, start the procedure "Non-responsive maintainer policy".
Thank you.

I've tried to rebuild the i686 package for 3.0.10 locally. (x86_64 built just fine.) I _hope_ I installed all the needed i686 packages - that required a lot of trial and error. The build failed with three Backtraces.

@tkorbar: does this wall of text - edited down to the relevant parts, but still impressive - look familiar?

(This is a note to self.)

The three backtraces contain a similar line:
Value out of range 0 to< 18446744073709551615: -512332661
Value out of range 0 to< 18446744073709551615: -432225964
Value out of range 0 to< 18446744073709551615: -505802029

18446744073709551615 is 64 bit ULONG_MAX.

Is the 32 bit build juggling a number > LONG_MAX (equivalent to > INT_MAX) somehow, somewhere?

v3.0.9..v3.0.10 is only a few hundred commits. Bisecting that should take less than a day. Yay!

Bisecting is still a chore but it took indeed less than a day. Verbose details below the line. Would really appreciate if someone could confirm, ie build commits d579848cb5d65440af5afd9c8968628665554c22 (should fail) and commit 89501a83ceec5ac4d3449e92ba2109fb77448b31 (should succeed).

While working through all these builds I realized this might as well be cross-compiling specific. Is Fedora special in building i686 on x86_64?

commit d579848cb5d65440af5afd9c8968628665554c22 (HEAD)
Author: Andy Wingo <wingo>
Date:   Mon Nov 20 16:45:35 2023 +0100

    Fix bug lowering logand/immediate to ulogand/immediate
    
    * module/language/cps/specialize-numbers.scm (logand/immediate): Define
    a sigbits handler.
    (specialize-operations): Require logand/immediate operand to be u64 to
    lower to ulogand/immediate.  Shouldn't be necessary but even if only u64
    bits are used, negative fixnums will have the sign bit set, which trips
    up further unboxed uses which error if the operand to `scm->u64` is
    negative.
    * module/language/cps/type-fold.scm (rem): Emit logand/immediate.

    Partially revert d579848cb5d65440af5afd9c8968628665554c22
    
    * module/language/cps/specialize-numbers.scm (specialize-operations):
    Accept any operand to logand/immediate, provided the result is a u64 in
    the right range.

(v3.0.10+)

It seems I'm on the right track (but wasted a lot of time bisecting). Anyhow, the title of the bug mentioned in this commit description is "Compiler error building 3.0.10 on 32-bit platforms"! Bisected - over a year ago! - to the same commit my busywork pointed to.

commit e45b70dcded37eb77e71ec30445b12040b6bb1b7

    Fix boxing of non-fixnum negative u64 values
    
    * module/language/cps/specialize-numbers.scm (u64->fixnum/truncate): New
    helper.
    (specialize-operations): Fix specialized boxing of u64 values to
    truncate possibly-negative values, to avoid confusing CSE.  Fixes
    https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=71891.

Apparently another fix is needed for the same issue is:

commit aff9ac968840e9c86719fb613bd2ed3c39b9905c
Author: Andy Wingo <wingo>

    Run sigbits fixpoint based on use/def graph, not cfg
    
    * module/language/cps/specialize-numbers.scm (sigbits-ref): New helper.
    (invert-graph*): New helper.
    (compute-significant-bits): When visiting a term changes computed
    needed-bits for one of its definitions, we need to revisit the variables
    that contributed to its result (the uses), because they might need more
    bits as well.  Previously we were doing this by enqueueing predecessors
    to the term, which worked if the uses were defined in predecessors, or
    if all defining terms were already in the worklist, which is the case
    without loops.  But with loops, when revisiting a term, you could see
    that it causes sigbits to change, enqueue its predecessors, but then the
    predecessors don't change anything and the fixpoint stops before
    reaching the definitions of the variables we need.  So instead we
    compute the use-def graph and enqueue defs directly.

Which requires non-trivial changes to apply on top of v3.0.10. Bummer.

My suggestions:
1) rebuild v3.0.10 excluding i686. This won't hurt those users (if any) currently running v3.0.9 for i686;
2) start a discussion (on devel?) on the purpose of i686 guile: why run a 32 bit guile on a 64 bit machine?
