"./configure --help" offers some options, eg.
--with-python-include=DIR
--with-python-lib=NAME
but nothing directly for guile.

There are several environment variables like
CFLAGS
but I don't know how to use them or the syntax they expect.

Full output of "./configure --help" attached.

I really hope someone can demonstrate how to point configure to a
self-compiled guile.
