Hi Wolfgang :)

An open bug, yes; hrm.  Adding Mark Harig to the Cc, who had a plan for
fixing this.

Heh.  Well, primitive-load is a load that doesn't autocompile, doesn't
load .go files, and doesn't run within a module excursion.  The
%load-hook business is another bug, reported recently:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/12259, but not yet
resolved.  I'll see about fixing this shortly.

BTW, I see you are still on 2.0.0.  How about beta testing one of these:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/guile-2-0/tarball/latest

2.0.1 will come out shortly, but it would be good if you could report
bugs on the snapshots.

Cheers,

Andy
