<p dir="auto">Expected behavior of default processing is to run <code>GUILE_SITE_DIR</code> this is done only if <code>--without-guile-site-dir</code> is used, it is quite confusing.
If default or <code>--with-guile-site-dir</code> is used then there is some hack activated, I do not understand the need for the hack, but for sure it should not be the default.
If <code>--with-guile-site-dir=xxx</code> is specified then we take the value of the argument which makes sense, but how came we can override what guile knows about itself? It will be ineffective.</p>
<p dir="auto">Unless there is a good reason to keep this logic, probably leaving only <code>GUILE_SITE_DIR</code> is the best method.</p>
<p dir="auto">See #957 for removal of <code>--with-guile-site-dir</code></p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>
