Hi Paul,

This is something of an old bug report, but I figured I'd follow up.

Do you still build Guile in this way?  It certainly does sound like a
bug, probably in gnulib.  If you are interested in tracking this down
further, please send a mail to address@hidden  That will create a
new ticket, so we won't forget about it, as happened with this mail.

Regards,

Andy
