Aha that's great info. I didn't have Guile installed on the MacOS system I'm using. I will try installing it and see if I can reproduce the problem. That is very odd though since clearly we're not invoking any Guile content in this makefile. I suspect the Guile library is replacing some standard libc library function in a way that doesn't work as expected...?
