I'm pretty sure this is libtool's doing, and I *think* it has to do
with missing symbols (perhaps libguile's not being linked against all
the other libs it needs, or they're not visible to libtool at the
right time -- not really sure).

If you're not using the latest libtool, you might try upgrading that,
re-running ./autogen.sh and see if that helps, but that's just a
guess.  Unfortunately I don't know offhand what the cause is...
