~/.cache/ to be the same kind of area.
You can set your XDG_CACHE_HOME to change this. See
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
for more.
This works. Put my .profile file
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=$HOME/Library/Caches/XDG
as to not clutter Caches/.
If Guile wants to set its own on Mac OS X, then it might be
$HOME/Library/Caches/Guile
