Well, fixing such a tiny thing in guile (probably by just dropping a
line of code or marking a parameter with the unused attribute) should
really be part of setting up your compilation environment.

Otherwise you'd have a much harder time figuring out how to set the
proper environment variables (and which ones, and to what values, etc.)

Maybe you can also add this to your jhbuildrc to skip building guile:
skip=['guile']
