This is not a known problem to me, and the build has not changed;
however it seems you are working on an old revision. Some things changed
in the past that required a clean build. Can you try that?

Furthermore in the past the meta/uninstalled-env wasn't setting
GUILE_SYSTEM_PATH properly, so it would pick up installed .scm files.

This is fishy; nothing in current code calls scm_trampoline_1.

Indeed.

Yes, they are harmless warnings. You don't get these warnings with
automake 1.11. 

FWIW I'm going to not be around very much until sometime next week, so
apologies in advance for delayed replies :)
