This already shows the problem, doesn't it?  And what does it do
without the PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH ?  I think those environment variables
aren't making it to the children processes.

But you should've tested with "guile-1.6-config", no?

Ok, but that's not the value you set to GUILE_CONFIG.

I suspect that's not exactly what's happening.  Try:

% guile16-build env PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH echo $PATH

I suspect you won't see the /opt/bin.  Perhaps because using "env"
like that doesn't export the variables to children processes.

So, just don't use "env".  Put all your variables in one file, and
make sure you export them.  It should work.
