I am coming back to Guile-2. I upgraded to vers 2.0.11 and rebuild lily 
2.19.21. I still cannot 
build 2.19.22. It chokes at the documentation.

Well, Guile-2.0.11 certainly has some problems like this:
ldconfig: /lib64/libguile-2.0.so.22.7.2-gdb.scm is not an ELF file - it has the 
wrong magic bytes at 
the start. But I probably can work with upstream to resolve it.
 

But lilypond 2.19.21 (built with guile-2.0.11) compiles the testfile 
lily-0e752a19.ly 
looks good, no crash, nothing special

I am going to continue building it with guile-2.0.11 for the time being. It 
will take about 12 month 
until we release our new distro version and I can always go back to guile1.8 if 
we still have it by 
then.
