From Git HEAD, I get the error:

/bin/mkdir -p `dirname "gnu/packages/guile.go"` ;                       \

Git bisect revealed that the bad change was this one:


commit 595801e2f4736a7fc08484716adf3bc49432bfa9
Author: Ludovic Court<C3><A8>s <ludo@gnu.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 4 00:30:08 2013 +0100

    gnu: Add Guile-SSH.
    
    * gnu/packages/guile.scm (guile-ssh): New variable.



Reverting that change allows me to build again.

This is a circular dependency + autoload issue that affects Guile
<= 2.0.9, because of <http://bugs.gnu.org/12202>.

Commit 49d294e sidesteps the issue by moving ‘guile-ssh’ to ssh.scm.

Can you confirm that it works for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
