I'm not sure, but I think the problem comes from trying to link a
shared libguile library with a static libqt.

One way to fix would then be to issue --disable-shared when
configuring Guile, but the correct solution would be to improve the qt
configuration so that it uses libtool.

I found the following file in my directory:

fixqt:

Presumably some other thread of ME put it there to remind other
threads to use it in case qt doesn't build properly. I guess you
could use it if you query-replace the paths. It looks like it builds
a shared libqt...
