You don't need to replace the old libraries, just remove them. Then Guile won't
be able to find them and will fall back to looking where it's told to, in the
build directory. Kinda like that (probably apocryphal) Churchill quote about
Americans always doing the right thing after they'd exhausted all of the
alternatives. Make/ninja uninstall is easiest but doesn't always work if there
are filename changes and the builddir or sourcedir are reused. If it fails it's
usually enough to remove libgnc* from the install library folder; sometimes you
also need to remove the installed *.scm and *.go files from their respective
directories in libdir/guile/version/ccache and sharedir/guile.
