I followed the process described above to compile Guile 1.8 and Lilypond on Windows Subsystem for Linux. I found that it only worked when installing guile to /usr, not /usr/local.

AFAICT Debian stretch has the same limitation, but the lilypond
package has guile-1.8 and its libs bundled within.
Each of the lilypond.org versions also has guile included.
Their identically named files have different dates and sizes.

Perhaps you could install guile and its libs yourself. I haven't
checked whether /usr/local/… would suffice or if they have to be
in the main library locations.
Cheers,
