Vendoring Guile seems totally impractical. The Guile compilation does

Just an idea, if "current" Guile has issues - could you just vendor
Guile in the stable release?
As said above, current Guile has issues, but not issues that are very
pressing for us.
That way at least you're not committed to supporting old Guiles
indefinitely, but you can create a temporary fork to get a working
release out the door ...
The binary creation system actually builds dependencies in an isolated
environment and supports applying patches to them.
