Re: [Chicken-users] 4.8.0.5 "compiled ... on" message not quite correct

[Jim Ursetto]

I've changed the build process for stability so that release tarballs have 
their build tag made more generic and more accurate.  This was the easiest 
workaround, I hope the wording is ok.  There's no provision in the build for 
recording C compilation, just Scheme->C compilation.  However, you can override 
the build tag manually as described below if you'd like to record your C 
compile environment.
