There was a bug in guile.m4 from a few years ago doesn't do the right
thing for major version changes.  I think you need to update guile.m4
from git, then do:

GUILE_PKG([2.2 3.0])

Also note that it's not meaningful to put in alpha releases to GUILE_PKG
-- 2.9.7's effective version is 3.0.

FWIW I would encourage doing GUILE_PKG([3.0 2.2]) instead, as it's
generally the right thing to default to newer Guile release series.

Cheers,
