I have run into a similar problem recently: I'm defining from C the
module 'runtime' where I store all my scm_d_defined symbols and when
compiling a guile module (using "guile-tool compile") the compiler
looks for a file named runtime.scm and of course fails to find one
and stops.

To solve this I had to create a void runtime.scm file defining this
dummy module so that other modules can be compiled. You can see the
result here:

There might be better solutions to this problem but this one is
particularly easy to implement.
