Yeah.  Unfortunately cgen seems fairly unmaintained and guile still
seems a bit clunky to use somehow (or maybe it's packaged strangely, I
don't know).

After some patches of mine to let cgen use the guile compiler, it
requires guile 3.0 (at least for me, guile 2 dies while trying to run
it).  So what I do is:

* cd binutils-gdb
* ln -s /path/to/cgen
* configure a new directory with --enable-cgen-maint
* make GUILE=guile3.0
