Hi Harlan, Reg, NTP developers (via relay) & Guile developers:
This is a problem. I (almost) only ever use pre-built Guile
packages and let others struggle with the porting issue.
Occasionally, I do build it just to verify that current
versions haven't wiggled too much for AutoGen to operate,
but otherwise, no.
So, Reg, can you please tell us all the platform and compiler
you used that triggered the Guile build failure?
Thank you.
Regards, Bruce

P.S. Reg, it should be possible to Google around and find a pre-built
Guile package for your platform. AutoGen has been jiggered and re-jiggered
to work with Guile 1.4.7(?) through 1.8 (latest AutoGen only).
BTW, AutoGen should only be required for constructing a distribution, and
not required for building the distribution itself. It is a development tool.
