apply-hack is a piece of assembly to circumvent the 128-argument problem.
It is entirely optional, and a small script is used to find out the architecture
for the build system. In a cross-compilation setting this doesn't make much
sense, of course. Here you have to give the target arch manually.

I have updated

http://chicken.wiki.br/cross-compilation

for the new build system. You will need a tarball (make dist) from the
chicken repository trunk.
