I just meant to comment on “compiling Guile-2.1 [...] is insane”.  If
you want to test against Guile 2.1 for some reason, it may make more
sense to install the binary with Guix rather than waiting for a day for
the build to succeed.

As Paul mentioned, there also is a package for Guile 2.0.11 in Guix.
