There is no Makefile rule to build cygchicken-0.a, so it can't
be installed.  It simply isn't available.

To make this work, you would have to try and write a rule based on
the cychicken-0.dll rule.  I don't understand any of the plethora of
flags it passes to the linker, so you'd have to figure that out first.

Regarding the parley problem, have you tried CHICKEN from git master?
