Yes, I do remember. And I already did uninstall GnuCash and built in a 
completely clean build directory. Nevertheless I still get this build 
error. Maybe the uninstall process was not complete and there are some 
files left.

I have to search for left *.go files, right? There are a lot in 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guile/2.2/ccache. Can I remove the complete 
directory without hesitation?
