Hmm, so you started from the release tarball ?

@John:
Did you generate the tarball against guile 2.0 ? That would mean the GUILE_PROGS macro in 
configure.ac would have been expanded from the guile-2.0 sources and possibly causing 
this issue.

Is there a way to recreate configure from configure.ac starting from the tarball ?
