Comment (by ballapete):

 I already built `Guile 2.2.7` with the Tiger per-built GO files, some
 hours ago it worked to build `Guile` with the GO files built on Leopard.
 Again the bootstrap step went fast, a few hours instead of a few days.
 Next try with the previously in a day-long process bootstrapped GO files
 failed early when the TEXI files was to be built. Now a build with the
 original (per-built) files has started – which failed, just as before,
 when trying to build the TEXI file. So it should be clear now that the new
 version of `libffi` has no effect, the pre-built 32-bit big-endian GO
 files are inadequate for PowerPC and Mac OS X.

 The new try is to bootstrap on Leopard and then use these GO files instead
 of the broken pre-built GO files in order to sort out whether Leopard
 simply cannot build valid pre-built GO files, with old and new version of
 `libffi`.
