I see you pushed that to master and I have done a full build from master
with the pkgsrc JIT workarounds.  It mostly worked and I got this, which
may be because I purged not-needed packages (but the guile build didn't
complain at configure or check time, like it did for missing gperf which
I put back).  Or maybe I just haven't gotten this far with 3.0.9-ish.

LTO seems enabled, but I see ranlib complaints in the build log.  I know
LTO is not new in this micro.  Maybe I'm trailing edge but it seems
slightly like living dangerously if not known to be ok -- but
--disable-lto is easy enough so no worries.

I kicked off a new build with --disable-lto, and that succeeded.  Tests
are not entirely ok, but that's not a regression.  I used the distfile
as a faux release to build guile pkgsrc from, and that built fine and
runs.

There are some issues for me to work through eventually, but for 3.0.9 I
have arrived at being ok with you releasing the current state of git
master (3 commits past rc1) as not having anything I can claim is a
regression and not anything I can't work around as before.
