A data point that might be relevant here is that builds on merulo are run
using prctl --unaligned=signal, whereas the default on hppa and ia64 is to
not signal on unaligned traps.  I'm not sure how this would cause the
guile-1.6 failure, but it *is* a difference to keep in mind.

If there are any packages that you *require* to not be installed for the
build, you need to add a Build-Conflict on them anyway even if you think
that the buildd won't have those packages installed.  It's not *likely* to
be installed, but the build log also won't tell you this information
normally unless something in your package's build gives a visual indicator
of this itself.
