I don't know anything about Makefiles and configure scripts (they all 
seem like a big mess to me :), but I can give you the output of it.
I just fetched a complete new cvs tree, and still got the same msg. 
Gnome-guile compiled without errors when I replaced the symlink with a 
copy of it's target.

This is the output of
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/gnome

  [snip]
creating guile-gnome/Makefile
creating macros/Makefile
creating config.h
configuring in guile-gtk
running /bin/sh ./configure  --enable-maintainer-mode 
--enable-compile-warnings
--prefix=/opt/gnome --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/gnome 
--cache-file=.././config.cache
--srcdir=.
./configure: ./config.log: Permission denied
configure: error: ./configure failed for guile-gtk

This is the created symlink:
gnome-guile/guile-gtk/config.log -> /usr/share/libtool/config.log


Hope it helps.
