It is not something it outputs but rather a script-internal comment.

How does it work?  With GUILE_CONFIG, I pass the executable as an
environment variable.  Admittedly, my non-system-wide Guile-1.8 (Ubuntu
no longer has guile-1.8-dev) contains a file
/usr/local/tmp/guile-1.8/lib/pkgconfig/guile-1.8.pc but I don't have an
idea how to use it.
