Then there must be something wrong.

If you unset GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE, Guile should automatically compile all
source files not already compiled and store them under ~/.cache.  When
it does, it prints lines telling which files it auto-compiled, possibly
with an error message if it failed to do so.

Can you double-check what happens exactly?

Now, *this* is bad news for 1.8.  I suppose 1.8.7 compiled
`--without-threads' would yield better performance.  It would be
interesting to try that.

Thanks,
