Right now, the Guile project does a poor job of testing Guile on
multiple platforms. Hydra does check that i686-linux, x86_64-linux
and x86_64-darwin compile, but, that's about the extent of multi-platform
testing. (There are Hydra jobs for Cygwin and Solaris, but, they are
broken; and FreeBSD hasn't built successfully in a year or so on 2.0)
Guile has some talented hackers, and maybe they could write a better
dynamic linker than libtool, but, history suggests that Guile might
lose interest in maintaining such code for non-GNU systems.
