Fair enough.  attached.    It would seem to me the problem is that
'guile-config link' is passing arguments to the linker during
configure to link to a shared library version of guile when it does
not exist.

I ran the check....  Seems to have just hung upon entering
test-suite/standalone.  Can't ctrl-c or ctrl-z out, just completely
hung.  *sigh*.

Anyways, you mentioned you kept the cygwin version of guile installed
and just installed from source over it, so I'm going to give that a
try (re-install Cygwin's libguile).  Maybe guile can't bootstrap
itself and needs libguile already installed to build a shared version
of itself or something crazy like that.  Can't hurt.
