Sorry, did accidentally forget to reply also to the list.
What I was unsure from the your post, Bric, is what "... the build fails
for all three" means.
Either
a) You could not build guile, neither 1.8.0, 1.8.4, nor 1.8.5
b) You did successfully build three different versions of guile, but
haven't had success with none of them in compiling lilypond.

In any case it would be good to know
a) Which version of LP are you trying to compile? From current master?
b) If building guile is the problem, how does the build actually fail?
