Hi Andrew,

because I need to switch guile frequently, I compile the guile-version
I need from a tarball or git repository.

For your purpose there may be easier methods. Though here what I do:

The 1.8.8-tarball can be found here:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.8.tar.gz
Do configure with option:
./configure --disable-error-on-warning

The git-repository is available from the guile site. I use that
repository to build newer guile-versions or for experiments, though
you likely can build 1.8.8 from there as well.
Checkout
remotes/origin/branch_release-1-8
and again with
./configure --disable-error-on-warning
I've seen there are some newer commits by Thien-Thi Nguyen. I did not
look into them, though.

HTH,
  Harm
