That's great.

There were quite some issues building it statically, because the Guile
config and build process seems to be ill prepared for cross
compilation; it tries to run cross-compiled binaries.  Anyone working
on that, btw, or would you take a patch?

I'm rather interested in that, would you send me your full patch?

Greetings,     
Jan.     

Btw:
  It should be real easy to exclude the autogenerated stuff, just
  do something like

     diff -purN --exclude=Makefile.in --exclude=configure ../guile.orig/ .

  and of course a 'make realclean' first in both directories.  Once
  you get it down to a reasonable size, you can post your stripped
  patch here too, if you like.
