Does this work on other platforms?  (I know almost nothing about
linking C programs with libguile; maybe your program has a bug, or you
are missing some function call necessary for this to work?)

There should be no need to compile under MSYS, you can compile from
the Windows cmd window.  I don't think that's the reason for your
problems, but it's worth a try.
