However, both versions of Guile return zero, regardless of whether
the expression passed to `-c' returned false or not.
check out how the other macros in guile.m4 use GUILE_CHECK. in each
case, the last form in the group of forms to be tested uses (exit ...).
the reason we leave it as a convention instead of codifying it into
GUILE_CHECK is to allow for multiple forms in the test (for example,
see GUILE_MODULE_CHECK).
thanks for reporting this. the next release of guile 1.4.x, will have
the appended documentation for GUILE_CHECK. i suggest other branches
update accordingly.

# Usage: GUILE_CHECK(var,check)
#
# Set @var{var} to the numeric return value of evaluating @var{check}.
# @var{var} is a shell variable name to be set to the return value.
#
# @var{check} is one or more Guile Scheme expression, evaluated with
# "$GUILE -c", the last of which should return either 0 or non-#f to
# indicate the check passed. Non-0 number or #f indicates failure.
# This is conventionally achieved by wrapping the last expression in
# @code{exit}. For example, @code{(foo) (bar) (exit (baz))}.
#
# Avoid using the character "#" since that confuses autoconf.
