Hi bug-guile!

Recent glibc-2.34 released changed attribute macros slightly
which broke older gnulib macros. Fixed in gnulib upstream as:
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=0c907f7da13232908f05c415b8cec56024071906

guile.git now fails to build on x86_64-linux as:

```

```

Would it be reasonable to sync gnulib and cut a guile point release
compatible with it?

Thank you!
