The ltdl.h which Guile should use is included in the distribution and
the line above producing dynl.x should have had a -I../libltdl in it.

Do you find libltdl in your checked out source?
(If you just did an update in an already checked out source tree, you
 may have to do

  cvs update -d

)

Also, remember that you have to do

  ./autogen.sh

at the top of the source directory before running `configure'.
