John, I took things down to the bare walls. I rm'ed .git, gtk, gnucash* everything. I did not re-download .jhbuildrc-custom (because I had modifed it), or gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, but everything else got nuked. I was trying to get everything herded into one subdirectory of my homedir, so I didn't have .git, gnucash-git, and gtk scattered there (that didn't work). So I started by running gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, then the python build, then bootstrap, then "jhbuild build". I was wondering if the XCode upgrade would perturb life.
I will continue poking at guile and report back if I get anywhere. BTW, I bought the O'Reilly book on Git and have been studying it, so I will (hopefully) quit asking stupid questions there. Git verges on magical in terms of what it does.
