Ah, I see what's going on.  Your patches are generally masking some
other shell errors.  However, the real cause of your problem is that the
docs cannot be built for some reason.  Since this doesn't happen on any
of my systems, nor on a clean build on bento, I have to assume there is
something wrong with your build environment.  Applying your patches
would change the content of what is installed, so I don't want to go
with that option.

Can you send me your
work/guile-1.6.4/scripts/snarf-check-and-output-texi script?  Thanks.
