I have only 1.9 now, as I made the transition. But I have the  
guile-1.8.8 binary which can be run from libguile/. I can probably get  
the 1.8 docs by 'make pdf' in this directory.

The bug is this: first
  make
  make pdf
This produces the PDF. Then
  make clean
This takes away the pdf. Then try to repeat
  make pdf
This fails.

Now you say
  make
  make pdf
should succeed. I did not try that. Instead I noticed that the missing  
file was in the guile-1.9.14 distribution. So I just copied it into my  
GIT version, and then then 'make pdf' worked. After that installed the  
PDFs, overwriting those from 1.8. So now, I only have those from 1.9  
GIT.
