No.  If I don't do this on my system, Lilypond ./configure fails with 
the check saying a minimum version of guile V1.8 is not available on the 
system.

Hmmm..  In the past on my system, I have foolishly done a guile make 
install for Guile V1.9.8.  I may still have cruft about despite doing a 
make uninstall and subsequently re-compiling an installing guile V1.8.7.

Sure, but mileage may vary if my suspicion above is true,
