Could you first submit it upstream?

‘load-extension’ searches for shared objects in the extension directory:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guix gexp)> (assoc-ref %guile-build-info 'extensiondir)
$14 = "/home/ludo/soft/lib/guile/2.0/extensions"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

… and in whatever ‘LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH’ points to
(info "(libtool) Libltdl interface").

HTH!
