Comment (by kencu):

 Looks like the patches in this ticket and on homebrew are incomplete. If
 the Port is reconfigured with `use_autoreconf   yes` then it still fails.
 There is a better patch that fixes this issue here
 <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109347> that would be more appropriate
 to use instead.

 Also, notably, the author of autogen has not exactly certified autogen to
 work properly with guile-2.2 see <http://mac-os-
 forge.2317878.n4.nabble.com/autogen-install-or-upgrade-fails-
 td336506.html> but suggests a warning be used in case there are as-yet
 undiscovered problems. Hmm.

 I don't see any  reports out there that issues have been found with
 autogen & guile 2.2. It's broken the way it is. I just checked the
 development website <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autogen.git/log/>
 and there's no indication that this issue with guile-2.2 is being fixed in
 the autogen source code at the moment.

 I'll update the fix to use the new patch, and add a note that it hasn't
 been officially verified as the autogen author suggests.
