the latest scoop on guile (native) build failure on fedora

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

  just FYI, as a benchmark for a native build, i downloaded the
guile-1.8.7 tarball and tried to build it on my system with your basic
"make; configure".  that failed exactly as the OE build has been
failing.

  as a last resort, i downloaded the fedora source rpm and tried to
use "rpmbuild" to rebuild the binary package.  same failure.  so this
is clearly a guile/fedora issue, nothing to do with OE.

  i'm about to bugzilla this, but i'm wary only because i'm running on
a sort of f12 system that is f11 but rawhide updated, so it might be
that there's a subtle version mismatch.

  if someone out there has either a pure f11 or pure f12 system, feel
free to download the guile-1.8.7 tarball:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.7.tar.gz

and try nothing more than untar/configure/make and see what happens.

p.s.  install libtool-ltdl-devel first.  philip?  want to give that a
shot?  should take only a couple minutes and will go a long way to
isolating what the mutt is going on here.
