Hi, Dan!

Very interesting! Basically, you should be able to build
a minimal chicken application by hand, provided you have a robust
C compiler (it's not gcc, I suppose) and implementations
of the required libc functions (see chicken.h: it defines
various macros named "C_strcmp", etc. which can be
overridden by a preprocesor macro and an additional
header file). You also have to check the direction into
which the stack grows. It's a bit of work, though.


cheers,
