At a high level, your problem is not radicly unlike the one I had on
hp-ux: guile-gtk's dynamic linking is is being difficult.
It sounds like somthing is broken with the shared libraries that guile-gtk
was linked with, and that in dynlink.scm tries to load in the other case.
Perhaps one of the .sl or .so files got removed or corrupted?
Maybe you could try using gdb to see where the coredump is occuring.
And/or use trace or strace to see what the plain guile case does before it
hangs; in particular what library files it is trying to open, if it even
gets that far.
As the README points out, "shared libraries and dlopening are a very
effective time-sink" ...
