Comment (by mouse07410):

 Thank you for the recipe - I'll write it down (useful for this and other
 ports as well).

 The main/only reason I need guile is because I need autogen port, and it
 depends on guile.

 Since guile-2.0.13 is broken (on Sierra for sure), and the fix does not
 seem to be forthcoming - could you possibly retract 2.0.13 and revert the
 "standard" current port to 2.0.12 (which, as I said, works fine on El
 Capitan and Sierra)?

 It is a small inconvenience to be unable to say {{{ sudo port upgrade
 outdated}}}, and having to manually upgrade every (working) port because
 guile sticks new the top and breaks the automatic process. But it is an
 inconvenience nonetheless.

 I can't imagine anybody needing 2.0.13 because it simply '''does not
 work'''. 2.0.12 does - why not stay at that version until you figure out
 how to fix 2.0.13 (probably having upstream people involved)?
