build-aux/build-self.scm stubs (gcrypt hash) and (git).
Likewise, it could be modified to stub (ice-9 exceptions) when
'guile-version' refers to a pre-(ice-9 exceptions) Guile.

According to Guile's NEWS, (ice-9 exceptions) is new in 3.0.0,
so the stubbing needs to be made conditional on guile-version<3.0.0.

Additionally, I'm looking into reducing the number of imports and
cycles, so possibly the situation will resolve itself eventually.

Greetings,
Maxime.
