[Chicken-users] Error compiling on OSX

[James Long]

Hey guys,

I just downloaded Chicken and am trying to compile it on OSX 10.6.  I
am getting an error.

% make PLATFORM=macosx PREFIX=/opt/local
make -f ./Makefile.macosx CONFIG= allgcc -no-cpp-precomp
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H
-DC_ENABLE_PTABLES -c apply-hack.x86.S -o apply-hack.x86.o
apply-hack.x86.S:35:suffix or operands invalid for `call'
make[1]: *** [apply-hack.x86.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I looked at apply-hack.x86.S but I don't know assembly.  What is the
problem?  I'm also curious why it doesn't use autoconf, but that's
probably a philosophical discussion I'm not sure I want to start!
