Hi,
This is on macOS with stock:
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/make/make-4.2.1.tar.bz2
When you build --with-guile the configure script hard-codes "guile-2.0" (and
an earlier guile version) as the Guile package to check for. But if you have
guile-2.2 or anything higher than 2.0, the check will fail and guile will not
be included.
This also causes the very convenient homebrew version of make to fail to
install with guile despite passing
homebrew install make --with-guile
In my case I had installed guile-2.2 via homebrew and the make builed failed
to find it.
The problem is NOT with homebrew; it is in the configure script that comes
with make
Is there a way to make that check for >= 2.0 rather than == 2.0? That would
make it consistent with the stated goal in the make 4.0 release notes:

|Currently GNU Guile 1.8 and 2.0+ are supported.
