No, they'll only fiddle the macro if they're trying to support both Guile1 and 2, and Gnucash-2.5 supports Guile2 there's no real need for us to do anything, except that I need to get SWIG-2.0.10 on my various Linux VMs so that the release tarballs will work with Guile2. Since you're building from svn (or git), you should probably install SWIG-2.0.10 and use Guile2. For non-developers it's not really our problem: If packagers do goofy things like that then they're also responsible for fiddling the macro calls as part of the patches they make for their distros. It's also somewhat difficult to predict whether they'll settle on a single hack or go off in all directions at once.
