configure is supposed to grab -lnsl when needed, by looking for
gethostbyname.  You can check if that's happened.  It ought to get
into libguile.la as a dependency.

What's -lmw and what's it needed for?

Might be the way TZ is changed only with putenv (in the tests).  I
think configure decides a LOCALTIME_CACHE for when tzset needs to be
called (and it's then called by `localtime' etc).  You might have to
investigate further.
