I built from the guile-3.0.11 distribution tarball.
I notice that there have been a number of updates to the configure
scripts in the guile repo.   Maybe those affect it.

I just set up a guile library for the kids manually, naturally
configuring with

     ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
Is there a good reason why we do not include the site dir and the
site-ccache dir in $HOME/.local in the %load-path and
%load-compiled-path by default (if they exist)?

So, I tried, and %load-path ended up under /usr/share/guile.
This seems messed up, IMO.

Note that I usually build with --prefix=/opt/local and with that prefix
the %load-path gets set correctly to /opt/local/share/guile.
