It was still not working, and the repl does not even show up. The
stack overflow occurs already prior to that. Thus it is not possible
to do the last step. 

However, when configuring --without-thread, nothing like that occurs
and guile starts up regularly. In that case, the last expression
returns something like  `$1 = 10752'.

Again, disabling threads was not necessary in guile-1.8.
