Hi!

I think this patch might fix the problem:

Index: c-backend.scm

Getting this to work will require a working chicken. You will have to
fetch an older chicken tarball and build a "chicken" executable that
you can the use to compile the 3.4.0 sources with the given
patch (sorry for the hassle, but this is how it is with bootstrapped
compilers...).
