Also make check passes for both guile 1.8 and guile 2.0. Word of caution here though: if
you install both guile and guile 2, for one of both the guile executable is not
"guile". In my case, I have guile (1.8) and guile2 (2.0). Some tests are
hardcoded to execute 'guile' and these tests will segfault when run against guile2. If
you manually fix the tests to execute guile2, they pass fine. This is a transient issue
that will resolve itself once only guile2 is an option.
Can we fix that to use a configure-set variable?

As far as I understand, this is a distro-specific issue. Upstream the
guile binary is called guile for both 1.8 and 2.0. It's because distro's
want to install two releases next to each other that they rename one
binary. Fedora has chosen guile and guile2, but another distro might
just as well choose guile1 and guile or guile and guile-2 as binary names.
GnuCash can't know this. It also not something that is defined in
pkgconfig, so I don't know how we can figure out what binary name we
should use.
