Hi guys,

Just to let you know,  guile-1.9.12 finally
compiled completely yesterday evening.

The solution was to pass LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib"
to configure.

It was initially necessary to set LDFLAGS so that
libltdl could be found.

I've tried to find differences between ltdl and
iconv in the configure script.

iconv (and all other libs found /usr/local/lib
(unistring, readline, gc) all have many env variables associated with them, eg
LIBICONV,  LTLIBICONV, LTLIBUNISTRING), but not ltdl.  (see attached config.log)

There is still one bug still outstanding:

Thanks for your patience is all this.
