Those look like scheme files that have information about a library.  I
would suggest looking at them to see if that's really true, and to
understand their purpose.  Then, I'd change the PLIST locally and see if
you can build a package, and then if the package works, including using
hte feature that file is supposed to support.

Finally, if this all makes sense and you believe that the
libguile-2.2.a-gdb.scm is the file that guile's build system ought to
produce (vs dylib?), then you can add a PLIST.macos variable and
conditionalize the PLIST.

Historically, guile has been a bit tricky on macos, because of the dylib
scheme's divergence from normal ELF libraries.  I haven't seen this
issue, but I don't find it surprising.
