Hi Paul, This is something of an old bug report, but I figured I'd follow up.

Do you still build Guile in this way? It certainly does sound like a bug, probably in gnulib. If you are interested in tracking this down further, please send a mail to bug-gu...@gnu.org. That will create a new ticket, so we won't forget about it, as happened with this mail. Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
