I've had a play with the AUR packages too. The guile4emacs PKGBUILD works
perfectly, but the guile-emacs build process segfaults when bootstrap-emacs
attempts to load calendar/cal-loaddefs.el:

make[2]: Leaving directory
'/home/wilfred/aur/guile-emacs-git/src/guilemacs/lisp'
if test "yes" = "yes"; then \
  rm -f bootstrap-emacs; \
  ln temacs bootstrap-emacs; \
else \
  ./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \
  test "X" = X ||  -zex emacs; \
  mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs; \
fi
make -C ../lisp autoloads EMACS="../src/bootstrap-emacs"
make[2]: Entering directory
'/home/wilfred/aur/guile-emacs-git/src/guilemacs/lisp'
EMACSLOADPATH= '../src/bootstrap-emacs' -batch --no-site-file
--no-site-lisp -l autoload \
   --eval "(setq generate-autoload-cookie \";;;###cal-autoload\")" \
   --eval "(setq generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name
(unmsys--file-name \"calendar/cal-loaddefs.el\")))" \
   -f batch-update-autoloads ./calendar
make[2]: *** [Makefile:466: calendar/cal-loaddefs.el] Segmentation fault
(core dumped)

Any suggestions?
