[Chicken-users] Build Failure (maybe infinite recursion) on x86_64 Linux

[Taylor Venable]

Hi all,

When building Chicken 3.4.7 and higher (up to 3.5.2) on Ubuntu 8.10
x86_64 the chicken compiler goes into an infinite recursion.  CPU
usage spikes, memory usage increases boundlessly, and no output is
ever produced.  In Chicken 3.4.7 the file that when compiled triggers
this behaviour is utils.scm and for a build process I am using:

    make PLATFORM=linux bootstrap
    make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot

The command that causes the infinite recursion is:

    ./chicken-boot utils.scm -quiet -no-trace -optimize-level 2
-include-path . -include-path ./ -explicit-use -output-file utils.c

If any other information would be helpful to diagnose this, let me
know and I can provide it.  Thanks for any help.
