My reading of the code says that this will be missing the scheme-specific
ltdl hooks so loading a shared library from guile should fail.

I had a try at building gnucash on a Solaris system today but ran into
portability problems - Guppi includes gcc extensions (I was using
Forte), one of the bits of gnome didn't include gettext correctly (so
it wouldn't link) and something (I don't remember what) assumes that
glade is installed but doesn't check for it in the configure stage.
