We are pleased to announce GNU Guile release 2.1.5.

Guile 2.1.5 is the fifth pre-release in what will eventually become the
2.2 release series.  We encourage you to test this release and provide
feedback to address@hidden.

With the patch below I can get through all the tests on my Mac (macOS 10.12.2) if I use default flags (i.e., -g -O2) and gcc-4.9 (now verifying also w/ gcc-6.2).  The patch is a hack to get around an apparent optimization that thinks the sine of -0.0 is +0.0.
