Just an idea, if "current" Guile has issues - could you just vendor 
Guile in the stable release?

That way at least you're not committed to supporting old Guiles 
indefinitely, but you can create a temporary fork to get a working 
release out the door ...

(And I run gentoo, so if Guile takes an hour to build - well so be it. 
Whenever Rust, Firefo or Thunderbird update I'm looking at all day for 
an update to complete :-)
