According to that version number, it looks like Ubuntu 20.04?
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/guile-2.0
I tried building on Ubuntu 20.04 against guile-2.0, and I see the same
result as you. And when I try guile2.0 on Arch Linux (this package
[1]), I also see the same result as you. So I must have tested it wrong
previously.
You can dig further if you want, but I'd be fine just accepting both
outputs and saying that guile-2.0 outputs the additional ERROR: while
subsequent versions do not.
