Actually it’s what’s been causing build failures on Hydra for the last
few days.  If you look at the first failed ‘tarball’ job at
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/431996>, it points to the changes at
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/diff/?id=9a598c47f748c7369e622cdb491ee225b0b97767&id2=22cf27c815b756cac6893b5b239898767e6cb498>.

They seem harmless at first sight, but it’s probably an obscure reason
such as the fact that we’re suddenly loading srfi-1 earlier than before
as a side effect of changes to the ‘use-modules’ clauses.

(And I was wrong: the ‘srfi’ subdir is built after ‘libguile’, of
course.)

Thanks,
