guile-1.8.7 failed to build following the blfs development version
instructions and gave the following error:
ERROR: unknown doc attribute: (location (string .alist.c) (int . 40) (hash
.has))
This error has been diagnosed in another context; see
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/guile.html for
information about the issue and resolution. I couldn't get the patch
embedded in the page to work (in hindsight, it appears to assume a
different directory), but was able to manually copy the change the patch
would have made (adding the -P flag) into the appropriate file
(guile-1.8.7/libguile/guile-snarf-docs.in) and it fixed the problem.
Based on the discussion in the referenced page, it appears that recent
versions of gcc (4.4.2 and later; I'm using 4.5.0 per lfs-dev) changed
their behavior in a way that broke the guile build.
