I got curious, so I tried to emerge guile-gtk, too.

After the ebuild failed, the output got dumped to the terminal
and showed lots of magenta warnings and cyan notes
and somewhere in there three red blobs appear:

In file included from /usr/include/guile/2.2/libguile.h:31,
                 from /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/guile-gtk-2.1-r3/work/guile-gtk-2.1/gtk-glue.c:4:
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/guile-gtk-2.1-r3/work/guile-gtk-2.1/gtk-glue.c: In function ‘sgtk_gtk_input_add_full’:
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/guile-gtk-2.1-r3/work/guile-gtk-2.1/gtk-glue.c:3579:63: error: ‘scm_tc16_fport’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘scm_t_fport’?
   SCM_ASSERT ((SCM_NIMP (p_source) && SCM_TYP16 (p_source) == scm_tc16_fport && SCM_OPPORTP (p_source)), p_source, SCM_ARG1, s_gtk_input_add_full);
                                                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

namely: "error", "scm_tc16_fport" and the accompanying wiggles right below.

So, as Jack correctly claimed, the problem appears in gtk-glue.c.

While I don't have a clue how to fix what is really wrong here,
I just wanted to point out that the colorful output of gcc is very helpful,
if you get to see it.
