guile-config: inconsistent behaviour when run using lilypond configure under meta/uninstalled-env bash or fully installed Guile V1.9.14

[Ian Hulin]

Hi all,

If we run lilypond ./configure under meta/uninstalled-env bash it hangs
as follows:

If I run exactly the same configuration in a Virtual Machine with guile
configured, compiled and installed the configuration runs to completion.

It's really tedious having to keep a full VM or laptop installation set
up to work around this inconsistency, is there any chance of fixing this
in the guile kit, please?  If not, how can we work around this in our
configure?

I think this has been the behaviour since Guile V1.9.11.
