Yes, this is the guile-unexec, see:

  /ftp@ftp.aec.at:/pub/guile/contrib/misc:
 Jun 26  1997 guile-unexec.README
 Jun 26  1997 guile-unexec.tar.gz

This version works on Linux,
I have also used it on sparc-solaris.

On solaris I had to customize the Makefile so that the crt*.o files can be found
in the gcc distrib.

Hope that helps.
