All kinds of things make build non-deterministic. Setting up the
build environment consistently is required for any kind of
determinism. A clean machine with build-essential and the build depends
will result in make without guile. As such, all kinds of things in the
user environment may change the behaviour of the software built.
As such, this allows users to simply recompile make with one
added package installed to get make with guile support. I consider this
a feature.
