This is actually a bug in Guile's headers which has been fixed in Guile 2.0.10

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=commitdiff;h=36c40440078c005cd5e239cca487d29f6f60007d;hp=b1fe20c24ccb380420ea1ffdc7f249224072dcdc

What error would that print?

[Comment 5 Felix Janda 2015-01-20 13:26:44 UTC]

The problem is more precisely, that musl ships the header
<stdnoreturn.h> which is likely to become part of the next C Standard.
This header is supposed to define "noreturn" (used to mark functions
which don't return). musl uses "__attribute__((__noreturn__))" as the
definition for "noreturn". Now there is also guile's public header
<libguile/__scm.h> which defines "SCM_NORETURN" as
"__attribute__ ((noreturn))". So if <stdnoreturn.h> is included before
<libguile/__sch.h> we get "__attribute__ ((__attribute((__noreturn__))))
which of course throws an error. The linked commit fixes this problem.

doesn't look like it has anything to do with autogen

There is more history in bug #493464.
