Indeed, I get this:

How about one of these two options:

  1. Provide both versions of guile-config, use the old one in GWL, at
     the risk of preventing installation of guile-hall + gwl in the same
     profile (which is probably not much of a problem in practice).

  2. Patch GWL so it works with the latest guile-config.

That should unblock the situation.  WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
