by adding 

#ifndef _TIMESPEC_DEFINED
struct timespec {
        time_t tv_sec;
        long tv_nsec;
};
#endif

to lib/stat-time.h and libguile/threads.c.  Don't particularly like it, but that's what works. If you don't wanna make that part of the main source tree, I got no problem making a patch part of my build process. I gotta do some patching anyway to be able to have relative/runtime initialized load paths on windows.

That's what the pthread.h says.

Sounds promising!

P.S. I guess I append some more info, namely my configure command line, and the most interesting build output section (after that its mostly backtraces from guile compiling):

./configure --prefix=/c/Users/shookie/guiletest/lib --disable-shared --disable-fast-install --with-gnu-ld  --disable-deprecated --enable-nls --with-libgmp-prefix=/c/Users/shookie/guiletest/lib  LIBFFI_CFLAGS='-I/c/Use
