Yes - I looked at the spot in configure that's failing. It finds guile
and guile-config, then it tries to test linking to guile by compiling
a short test program with gcc. But in the line it calls gcc, it has
put linking flags that it got from calling "guile-config link", which
has janneke's home directory in it by mistake. To test this bug
yourself, just type: guile-config link
