So I changed configure arg from "--with-guile=/path/to/guile" to 
"GUILE=/path/to/guile"
AC_ARG_VAR([GUILE],[path to guile binary])
if test "x$ac_env_GUILE_set" = "xset"; then
  GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION=`$GUILE -c "(display (effective-version))"`
  guile_libdir=`$GUILE -c "(display (assq-ref %guile-build-info 'libdir))"`
  PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
  PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$guile_libdir/pkgconfig
  export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
else
  GUILE_PKG([3.0 2.9 2.2 2.0])
  GUILE_PROGS
