Comment(by iraikov):

 Ok, unfortunately CSC_OPTIONS and CHICKEN_OPTIONS don't seem to be
 properly passed by chicken-install, so I had to run the compilation steps
 manually. There is not something as convenient as strace/ltrace in Mac OS
 X, but I managed to get dyld to output a trace of its activities, and this
 is all included in the new build log I have attached.

 The hex values are the initial bytes of sxpath-lolevel.import.so, and the
 output of dyld confirms that this is what fails to load. Let me know if
 there is some additional debug information I can obtain.

 Replying to [comment:3 felix]:
 > The -:d was apparently not passed through. I need the debug-mode output
 of "chicken" when it attempts to load the import library. Can you somehow
 hack a "-:d" into the failing compilation command (for example, with
 "CSC_OPTIONS=\"-compiler 'chicken -:d'\"", or run the compilation steps
 manually and add {{-compiler "chicken -:d"}} to the last invocation of
 `csc`.

 > Are the hex-values the initial bytes of sxpath.import.so (or some other
 file)? If yes, then probably some attempt to dynamically load a compiled
 file fails. You can also use `DYLD_DEBUG` (or something similar) to list
 some information regarding dynamic loading. Or something `strace`-y.
