  i know, but that's not the issue.  longer story -- i'm trying to
build it as part of a larger openembedded image, and the native build
of that package keeps failing.  as a test, i just tried what i was
suggesting -- grab the tarball, download it and configure and make, to
use as a benchmark for a native build.  that *also* failed on this
system, which allows me to at least suspect it's not an OE issue, it's
a guile build issue related to fedora, or at least related to this
dog's breakfast version of fedora i have running now.

  i just want to know if a stock f12 system can build that package
from tarball.
