Hello,
this is a known bug in older Debian packages of guile-2.0
<https://bugs.debian.org/701861>. I do not think autogen's ./configure
should need to carter for a since fixed Debian specific modification
of guile packages.
However the fact that autogen's build dependencies do not reflect this
issue is a bug that will fix.
