But not in /usr/lib/libc*.

Exactly the thing I was hoping to point you at with the config message:

Yes.  Unfortunately, there is no trivial
way out of the problem.  I think the proper solution is for guile
(and any other package that installs its own config.h file) to
"prefix" the defines:

 http://ac-archive.sf.net/Miscellaneous/ac_create_prefix_config_h.html

and use those #define-d values from their installed config header.
It would be "good" to prominently document the importance of this
in the autoconf docs.  Meanwhile, we have a problem....

No.  cgi-fsm.c is under CVS because it contains some edited source,
though it is mostly generated.  Looks like I left cgi-fsm.h off the
list of generated source.  Sorry.  It will be updated in a few minutes.
I'll also send it as an attachment under separate cover.
