guile-1.8.8 problems on GNU/Linux AMD64

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

A build of guile-1.8.8 on GNU/Linux AMD64 fails because the included
libtool is overriding library paths, and supplying incorrect 32-bit
paths:

% env CC=gcc CXX=g++ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib64" ./configure && make
...
libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64 -o gen-scmconfig gen-scmconfig.o  -L/usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so -lcrypt -lm /usr/local/lib64/libltdl.so -ldl -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried replacing -lgmp with /usr/local/lib64/libgmp.so in Makefiles,
and that got somewhat further:

% find . -name Makefile | xargs sed -i -e 's@-lgmp@/usr/local/lib64/libgmp.so@' 
% make all check
...
PASS: stack-limit-calibration.scm

ERROR: socket.test: AF_INET6/SOCK_STREAM: bind/sockaddr - arguments: ((wrong-type-arg #f "Wrong type: ~S" (#(10 1 9998 0 0)) (#(10 1 9998 0 0))))
ERROR: socket.test: AF_INET6/SOCK_STREAM: connect/sockaddr - arguments: ((wrong-type-arg #f "Wrong type: ~S" (#(10 1 8889 0 0)) (#(10 1 8889 0 0))))

At that point, the tests hang in a wait state, without any
CPU consumption, so I killed the build.

Can you post the excerpt of config.log that relates to GMP detection?

Thanks,
