Was this a clean build?  If you get strange build failures, it's often a
good idea to re-run the build after a "git clean -dxf" (note that this
will remove all files you may have put in you checkout, even if they are
not controlled by git).  Should the problem persist even when building
from a clean tree, please tell us so we can investigate.

ATM, most work is happening on stable-2.0, and master is only updated
sporadically.  Unless you want do work on Guile itself that's supposed
to go into 2.2 (only) eventually, I'd recommend using the stable-2.0
branch.  See also
