the reproducer still crashes on a recent x86_64, but i originally noticed this long ago (maybe a year even). back then i investigated an early crash in the boot, and i reached %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED, and made a TODO note to further investigate. then i forgot most of what happened, and recently i opened this bug report based on my note.

since then EXPRESSION->INITRD may have changed, because it now uses %GUILE-STATIC-INITRD, but it's created with the same MAKE-GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED that produces the faulty %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED, so they're essentially the same.

in short: the reproducer crashes both %GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED and %GUILE-STATIC-INITRD on x86_64, and i believe that it crashes the same way in the early phase of the boot when/if it tries to enter the debugger.
