The macros haven't changed.

``-L/Users/grahamreitz/Development/root/usr/local'' or
``-L/Users/grahamreitz/Development/root/usr/local/lib'' ??

The presumption for the past decade is that you pass the *prefix* of
the installation so that the "include" and "lib" directories can *both*
be derived from it.  So, the name ought to have been --with-libguile-prefix.
It isn't.  Sorry.  I'll try to clarify.
