Hi Ludo,

+(define delete-file*
+  (let ((proc (syscall->procedure int "unlike" '(*))))

Typo.  Should be "unlink".

>+    (lambda* (file #:optional (string->pointer string->pointer/utf-8))
>+      (proc (string->pointer file)))))

>Ideas?

Well, we could always include a special wrapper in guile-static - like we do
for load-linux-module/fd.

That way, it is included in the statically linked guile executable.
