I think it proabably depends on whether or not you compiled guile with
threads support. If you did, then I think it needs qthreads.

The first AC_CHECK_LIB for a given library/function combination is the
only one that can ever succeed/fail. After that, all the other tests
are skipped because configure assumes the result is in the cache.
AC_CHECK_LIB doesn't care that you're retrying with different library
combinations. I've got a good fix now (that might need a little
debugging, but is basically solid). I'll send you a patch after I
sync up with your latest changes.

You won't get any disagreement from me. Guile was still pretty shaky
when we (I) started using it. I still think it's the right idea,
though, and I believe (though I could be wrong) that with the latest
1.3 release, things should be smoother. Let me get you these latest
fixes, let that settle out, and see how it goes.
If, after a little longer, things are still a big PITA, then we can
discuss our options...
