Re: [Chicken-users] Building 32-bit chicken scheme on OS X

[Nicholas Van Horn]

I can confirm that stability/4.8.0 does build on 32-bit Mac (using the
default `make PLATFORM=macosx`). I'm using the same machine (original
Core Duo running OS X 10.6.8) that was failing to build the current
stability release.

Thanks for following up on our #chicken conversation!
