Couple of thoughts on this one...

- What versions of Guile did you have installed when doing this build,
  and where?  I ask because it could be that AutoGen is picking up
  Guile headers from /usr/local, but the Guile library from /usr.

- For each installed Guile: how is (or isn't) SCM_C_INLINE defined in
  that Guile's scmconfig.h header
  (${prefix}/include/libguile/scmconfig.h).

(This looks like something to do with scm_cell() sometimes being
inlined, and sometimes not.)

Thanks,
