Failure while building Guile-SDL 0.3.6.

[r. clayton]

I was trying to build http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile-sdl/ under
guile-1.8 on a debian testing system (updated weekly) and ran into a problem:

  $ make
  make  all-recursive
  make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/guile-sdl-0.3.6'
  Making all in src
  make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/guile-sdl-0.3.6/src'
  make  all-am
  make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/guile-sdl-0.3.6/src'
  if /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

  initf.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/initf.Tpo" -c -o initf.lo initf.c; \ then mv -f
  ".deps/initf.Tpo" ".deps/initf.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/initf.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

                   from ../include/gperfsup.h:4,
                   from initf.c:33:

Doing the gcc -E thing shows the likely problem:

  $ gcc -E -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I../include -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic
  -Wno-long-long -pipe -I/usr/local/packages/sdl-1.2.11/include/SDL
  -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -MT initf.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/initf.Tpo -c
  initf.c  -fPIC -DPIC | grep _generic
  extern SCM scm_call_generic_0 (SCM gf);
  extern SCM scm_call_generic_1 (SCM gf, SCM a1);
  extern SCM scm_call_generic_2 (SCM gf, SCM a1, SCM a2);
  extern SCM scm_apply_generic (SCM gf, SCM args);

  $ 

At this point I've reached the end of my tricks.  What more needs to be done to
fix this?
