Well, I can imagine a small embedded system where files and streams cannot possibly be larger than 2 GiB. On such a system it might be reasonable to use gnulib modules in small-file mode. If this is a real issue, and if someone takes the time, I think it'd be OK to add small-file support to gnulib, because I don't think it'd be much of an intrusion on the existing code. (Not that I'm volunteering! I left the 32-bit file world long ago, thank goodness.) More likely, I expect, is that guile was simply misbuilt in small-file mode.
