Unfortunately I can't reproduce on Fedora 27 (which ships guile 2.2.2).

As gnc_build_userdata_path is a new function in gnucash 3.0 it's very likely 
your system is picking up libraries from an older version of gnucash on your 
system.

Is this a build from a git clone or from a release tarball ?

Things to try:
- if you ever built gnucash within the source tree, wipe the full source tree 
and clone it again/extract the tarball again, effectively starting from 
scratch. In your new build, avoid building inside the source tree.
- wipe your build directory and restart with cmake
- Do you have other gnucash versions installed ? If so, can you remove it and 
restart the build ?
