Debian gives you the option, with make and make-guile equivalent packages. IIRC Slackware simply compiles it in (guile already being there) and Fedora/RHEL leave it out entirely.
Yes. It really should be "make" and "make-noguile", but we have what we have. In practice, you actually want the "remake" package. This is a fork of "make" that's a drop-in replacement (since it is the same code), has guile enabled AND contains an interactive debugger.
