Unfortunately because we didn't get this line of approach finished I
didn't end up with actual patch files just hand-altered tarballs. I've
just been looking back at the thread which gave rise to all the fixes
"Re: statically linking in srfi modules" on guile-user-request at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/

and it ends with the comment that from the developers that

>this is mostly not an issue in Guile 2

so perhaps it will be better to work on a static libguile v 2.x rather
than get the 1.8 working.
