Is there an easy way to replace the bootstrap interpreter with an already
built Guile in order to speed up the build process?

Sadly, no.  You have to bootstrap with the same version of Guile.  See

However since Guile 2.1.2, "make dist" effectively does this for you,
including a tree of prebuilt .go files for a variety of endiannesses and
word sizes.  So building from a tarball is not so bad.
