Either use fink to install Guile 1.6.4 or try to use guile16.patch from

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/dists/10.3/unstable/main/ 
finkinfo/languages/

If you would like to build the CVS version of Guile you've got to fix  
gc_os_dep.c too. I sent a patch regarding this problem to bug-guile a  
couple of days ago (see the message with the subject "stack base on Mac  
OS X" in the archive) but the patch hasn't been integrated yet.  
Unfortunately, running autogen.sh on Mac OS X isn't straightforward.  
The autoconf, automake and libtool versions shipped by Apple are too  
old and one of the Guile build scripts requires GNU find. What I do is  
to run autogen.sh on a GNU/Linux machine. Then I copy the source code  
to my iBook where I run configure and make.
