I ran across an interesting problem while cross-compiling Guile 2.0.11
with MinGW.
"GEN guile-procedures.texi" sat in an infinite loop, due to meta/guile
exec-ing itself in a tight loop.
This was because I had set GUILE_FOR_BUILD to "guile" in my configure
invocation. In the uninstalled_env environment, "guile" is
"meta/guile", not my installed version of guile in my PATH.
It might be helpful for configure to insist that GUILE_FOR_BUILD is an
absolute path in order to avoid this happening to other naive
cross-compiling users!

Fixed in master; we capture the full path to GUILE_FOR_BUILD. Cheers :)
