Hi Aaron,

well, I've multiple guile-versions on my machine, though one of it is
the distributed guile-1.8.
If available it's the most easy way to get this one.

Ofcourse the discussion is a little bit academic as you said...
Nevertheless:
(1)
~$ uname -a
Linux kasten 4.15.0-54-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 24 10:55:24 UTC
2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

(2)
~$ apt-get install --dry-run guile-1.8
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

guile-1.8 is already the newest version (1.8.8+1-10ubuntu1).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libllvm7
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
