Gnucash trunk won't build with Guile 1.8.7 (the current release):

The problem is in src/engine/iso-currencies-to-c, which is a scheme file whose first line is:
(use-modules (srfi srfi-2))

Removing that line (so that srfi-2 isn't invoked) causes the following error:
ERROR: Unbound variable: and-let*

I don't have time to troubleshoot this further tonight.
