Hello,
Andy,

	debian testing
	guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.11.10-fa1a3-dirty

Sorry I never ran these checks before, just did (*) and here is a [funny] failure: guile's trying to
compile /bin/bash :) while make check in tests/unit-tests

Cheers,
David

(*) I'm facing a problem with guile-gnome, make distcheck fails on debian, because
no matter what, it wants to link to libcairo.la, which does not exists on debian...
so I thought I'll try make distcheck in guile-cairo and see if by any chance you'd
face and solve that problem 'here'... If you are interested and/or have an
idea for this guile-gnoe make distcheck problem, try to read the #guile log of today
[sunday the 14th, 2014], I tried a couple of things with the help of Ludovic, but so
far no success yet.
