1.8 build problem

[James Bergstra]

I'm on Fedora core, AMD64, with guile 1.6 already installed in /usr/bin, the
compiler is gcc 4.2.0.  I want to install guile 1.8 in my account, so I 

1. download the 1.8 tgz
2. issue ./configure --prefix=~/pub/64 (no problem)
3. issue make.  no problem during compiling... then... it hangs.  So I kill it,
and reissue make.  It hangs again, after printing the following text:

make  all-recursive
