Xbindkeys no longer working after system update (Guile and encoding related)

A few system updates ago on my slackware64-current, Xbindkeys 1.8.7 stopped working with the following error:

Quote:
Pre-boot error; key: encoding-error, args: ("scm_to_stringn" "cannot convert narrow string to output locale" 22 #f #f)Aborted (core dumped)
I've tried rebuilding it with both Guile 2.2 and Guile 3 (running an autoreconf to detect it correctly), both results in the same error. scm_to_stringn is part of the Guile headers, and a backtrace points to the same culprint:

I also tried to change environment LANGs variables, as some people mentioned around this might be a problem with encoding, with no success.

I wonder if someone knows what this might be, it worked fine for several years on Slackware.
