/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile/.libs
/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs

Hmmm...it appears the real problem is the renaming of the source 
directory, from libguile to libguile-ltdl.  I've seen libtool do that 
sort of thing for single .c files (creating new versions of foo.c as 
.libs/foo-ltdl.c, etc.  It does this when compiling different versions 
of the same file with different AM_CFLAGS) but I have NEVER, EVER seen 
it rename a directory.

This smells like a Makefile.am bug, or an automake bug, actually...

Where is this -ltdl coming from?  (If it's a typo in transcribing the 
original terminal display into your email, then PLEASE clarify that or 
we'll be going in circles).
