No, no you shouldn't do that.  You need to prefix each 'real' command
with guile16-build.  Yes, its a PITA.  Here are the commands I use to
compile on my MacPPC:

export LIBTOOL="glibtool"
export PATH="/sw/bin:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_CHECK=/sw/lib/pkgconfig
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /sw/share/aclocal"

guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include ./autogen.sh 
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include ./configure \
   --prefix=/opt/gnucash
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include make

The 2nd and 3rd line from the end are one single command.  There may be
an easier way to do this but I haven't spent any tome looking for it.
(I'm mainly a linux person.)   These are the commands provided to me
when I asked someone how to compile gnucash on a mac.
