I've never seen this problem before, but I haven't done any builds since the Xcode upgrade.

Without a clean Guile, Gnucash is hopeless, so you've got to get Guile to work without "fakery". Unfortunately Guile2 doesn't build clean either and I haven't taken time to work on that; filing a bug against Guile 1.8 isn't going to get us anywhere. I've no doubt that the snarf-check... scheme program was revealing a problem in C; upgrading clang wouldn't have any effect on the scheme, it's going to affect the interpreter. Try turning off optimization when building Guile, that's often the source of weird results. If it still hangs, add a debugging flag and run snarf-check... in the debugger and see why it's hanging.
