The bigger problem is what happens to the make describe output? If you
are not trying to use GUILE_VERSION in other make variables, I would
skip the !=3D notation, and use the previous `...` notation as it is
safer. If you use !=3D, and the make variables that reference
GUILE_VERSION are used to in things like *_DEPENDS, then that will
effectively break INDEX and package builds.
