It is not an error in your build process. `qt_abort' and friends are
referred to but not defined in libguile.  They are defined in
libqthreads, so the error seems to be that gnurobots doesn't link with
libqthreads.

The correct way to link with guile is to include the output of the
command `guile-config link' in the linking line.
