the configure script uses `guile-config`.  doesn't seem easy to disentangle, so filed a bug upstream for it.

[Comment 3 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2019-08-24 08:55:12 UTC]

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/meta/guile.m4?id=ccd0ae1fbb1c8c942a89bf84272377b341739e0f switched guile.m4 to use pkg-config instead.

Now autogen fails on other minor bits to start cross-compilation:

...
checking whether strcspn matches prototype and works... configure: error: in `/tmp/portage-tmpdir/portage/sys-devel/autogen-5.18.16-r1/work/autogen-5.18.16':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details

    sys-devel/autogen: override *_cv_* fro corss-case, bug #425174
    
    A few autogen configure tests require running the program on machine:
        export ag_cv_run_strcspn=no
        export libopts_cv_with_libregex=yes
    
    Pass these to get past ./configure. Autogen still reexecutes itself
    at build time. Will need more fixes if feasible at all.
