I think this should generally be possible. You would have to reimplement
a bunch of libc functions, though (there are a number of macros in chicken.h
that are use to abstract that stuff). If you have a C compiler for a particular
platform, then chicken-generated code should be able to run, provided
the runtime support exists.
