Compilation succeeds with dev-scheme/guile[deprecated].

This is interesting. I have the same versions on my system installed without any issues. Please paste your "emerge -pv guile autogen" and "qlist guile" output. Try with the last guile (=guile-1.8.7-r2).

 My colleague has this issue too.

 % emerge -pv guile autogen

Err, ok, my bad. I didn't see the deprecated use flag from the start. 

I will fix this in some hours if someone from @toolchain hasn't done it yet.

For the time being, just *don't* drop the default use flags from guile. There is a reason we have put them that way there.

 I just have deprecated flag disabled globally in make.conf. I consider deprecated things, well, deprecated. Old and of a "better-no-to-use" kind. Am I not right there? :-)

Thanks for response, hope fix'll hit the tree soon!

I have the same problem. Will it be fixed?
