The LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue does seem to be present still, actually.   
(Sadly, I'm running into enough problems that I'm losing track of  
which is which if I'm not careful.)  In a fresh Mac OS X build:

% ./I/bin/guile
Backtrace:
In ../../module/ice-9/boot-9.scm:
2363: 29* [#<program 100bb30 at ../../module/ice-9/boot-9.scm:2361:12  
()>]
[...]
In unknown file:
    ?: 46* [primitive-load-path "srfi/srfi-1" #f]
In ../../module/srfi/srfi-1.scm:

ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-4", message: "file not found"
%

After I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH *and* added a symlink using the .so suffix  
instead of .dylib, it worked.  Either by itself was not sufficient.

This is with commit 43b03fb from today, plus two patches: Disabling  
the glibc-specific locale code, and using the 1.8 version of  
regexp.test.
