Thank you, this actually worked.
Now finally again I have a self-compiled LilyPond 2.21.0 again, on a
system that doesn't normally have Guile 1.8 anymore :-)

Of course I'll have to iron out some things and make it generally usable
for my purposes (namely the flexibility to repeatedly compile different
LilyPond versions with as little effort as possible), but I'm confident
it'll work.

So far I had used a script provided by Janek that is very flexible and
polished. I'll check whether it will work to update *this* script to use
this self-compiled Guile.
