You must recompile. First you compile Chicken 4 with your
old Chicken 3, but then you need to make clean and compile
Chicken 4 with Chicken 4 again.

This has something to do with the fact that the old macro hooks
system does not exist anymore, but chicken 3 generates code to match
its own version of libchicken, which does still have those macro hooks.
Felix can probably explain better ;)
