Details
Guile is an optional dependency of GNU Make and not actually used by many projects. For that reason, some other distributions (Debian and Ubuntu) build their "default" make package without Guile support. In my understanding, this would simplify bootstrap builds and allow to drop guile (and gc) to extra. If there is a package that requires Guile support in GNU Make, there could be a make-guile package in the same way that it is provided in Debian and Ubuntu.
