Hello everyone! I'm new to guile. I am exploring the language since a
couple of days. It would be nice to have option to produce such binaries
for programs built using guile (like with golang & some more langs).
Was this topic already discussed here before? Interested to know about
your thoughts.

Hi,
I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say 'such binaries'. Are you referring to Guile bytecode? If so, you can use the following command:
guild compile your-code.scm
But unless I'm mistaken, Guile does this automatically.
In any case, please let us know what you mean as it'll make it easier for us to help you. I'll link this manual page on the subject below in case its of any use to you.
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Compilation.html
(Apologies if you recieved this email twice; I accidentally sent it to just you instead of the whole list)

That is not possible. Guile is currently dependent upon having a
bytecode interpreter installed on the machine that is running Guile
programs. The good news is that native compilation is something that
the Guile maintainers have planned for the future, which would enable
things like self-contained binaries.

I had the same confusion, until I noticed the header.

On top of that, GNU libc is (at least in parts, libnss I think)
dynamically linked anyway, AFAIK.
My hunch is that Guile's core depends on GNU libc.

Sorry for not able to phrase my thoughts into words properly. Yes, I
mean able to create native binaries out of guile programs, Just like how
in is done with Golang, where program binary includes go runtime & gc.
And, good to know that the team has it in on the roadmap & I personally
feel that it is a very good feature to have.
