I've re-confirmed my findings with guile-1.9.4.  Still stumped...

>>> I'm seeing the following check failure with guile-1.9.3 on
>>> powerpc-apple-darwin8 (plain ../configure, VPATH build):
>>> 
>>> ...
>>> Running r4rs.test
>>> Running r5rs_pitfall.test
>>> Running r6rs-ports.test
>>> ERROR: In procedure dynamic-func:
>>> ERROR: dlsym(0x103120, scm_init_r6rs_ports): symbol not found
>> 
>> The dlsym () call comes form module/rnrs/io/ports.scm:
>>  (load-extension "libguile" "scm_init_r6rs_ports")
>> The failure could mean that dlopen(3) didnt pick up the right libguile,
>> which normally shouldnt happen because the Libtool wrapper script at
>> libguile/guile sets up the right dynamic linker search path.
>> 
>> Can you try ./meta/guile -c '(use-modules (rnrs io ports))'?  If that
