Great! This new version works fine and is now available in homebrew guile :-).
One minor thing is that I was using brew defaults and I think they add more make jobs (i.e. -jN where N > 1). This meant that curl.scm was built before the extension and therefore it failed. To solve it I just forced it to "make -j1", which is totally fine since there are just a few files. Thanks!
