Description:
Package extra/slib has a dependency on guile1.8 but I can't find any reference to a particular version of guile on slib's documentation.
In fact, the only package pulling slib into my system is aur/gnucash-gtk3-git which actually depends on guile2.0 and slib, which seems to indicate that slib doesn't need 1.8.

As a test, I have uninstalled guile1.8 and installed my own copy of slib modifying the PKGBUILD as:
-depends=('guile1.8' 'sh')
+depends=('guile' 'sh')

gnucash works and compiles fine (including make check).

Additional info:
extra/slib-3b5-2

Moved to community & reassigned to the maintainer of the only package that depends on this

Updated slib to use guile instead of guile1.8.
