Hi Gopi,
It is best if write replies not to me but to guile-user@gnu.org.  That 
way everyone on the list can see and help.  I'm no guru, so it is quite 
probable that you'll run into something I can't fix, or that I don't 
know the best way to fix.

Do you know what libc you are using?  That might help with the alloca 
problem.  It looks to me like a bug (whether in guile, or in gnu 
autotools, or in BSD's libc I don't know), and it'd be best if we could 
figure out how to prevent it from happening again for anyone else.

About the first problem you had, with the guile configure script being 
unable to find libtool:  did you reboot your machine or anything like 
that in between having the problem and not having the problem?  These 
bugs which spontaneously disappear are the hardest to fix permanently.
Regards,
Jon
